Mr K & Anor v Mr Z & Anor
Mr and Mrs K satisfy all statutory requirements for a parental order. Despite their advanced age, they have made appropriate and detailed arrangements for B's welfare, including future care and financial provision in the event of their incapacity or death. The arrangements are in B's best interests and his welfare throughout life is secured. The payments made in the surrogacy process are authorised. A parental order is necessary to provide B with legal security and recognition as the child of Mr and Mrs K.
