Questão jurídica principal
Whether the parents acted intentionally and abusively by bypassing the denied school dispensation through private instruction
Decisão extraída
The parents deliberately tried to circumvent the final refusal of leave and the school holiday schedule; their conduct was abusive and not based on any mistake of law.
Fundamentação extraída
The lower court's factual findings were not shown to be manifestly incorrect, and the record made clear that the parents' aim was to leave for the USA earlier. In that situation, a legal mistake was excluded.
