Re C (a child) (parental order and child arrangements order) [2020] EWHC 2141 (Fam), [2020] All ER (D) 27 (Sep)
A surrogate child (C) had his ‘home’ with the father and the mother (the parents), within the meaning of s 54(4)(a) of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008, notwithstanding that the parents were separated and lived in two separate households. The Family Division so ruled, having given a wide and purposive interpretation of the word ‘home’. Accordingly, the court granted a parental order in favour of the parents. Further, and among other things, the court held that it was in C’s welfare best interests to make a child arrangements order that he live with his father (with whom he currently lived) and spent time with his mother.
