In an openended consent agreement, can one parent leave Australia with their child for an indefinite period?

Nova Scotia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Beairsto v Cook, 2018 NSCA 90 (CanLII):

Bazargani v. Mizael, 2015 ONCA 517, like the case presently before this court, involved an open-ended consent agreement. One parent was permitted to leave Australia with their child for an indeterminate period. In the absence of a pre-determined return date, the court relied on the explicit revocation of consent by the wronged parent (paras. 9, 22).
