Matrimonial Causes – Ex-parte Application – Removal of Children – Extreme Urgency – Abuse of Process – Dismissal – The court considered whether the father's ex-parte applications for temporary and permanent removal of children to the USA satisfied the test of extreme urgency. The court held that there was no justification for seeking removal by way of ex-parte application as the mother should be given an opportunity to state her views. The court found the applications were an abuse of court process given previous dismissals. Applications dismissed with no order as to costs.
