    CACV35/1986

    Where paternity of a young child is genuinely in issue the court should order blood tests of the child and parents unless there is satisfaction that testing would be against the child's interests; appointment of the Crown/Official Solicitor as guardian ad litem is not required prior to testing absent special circumstances, but the Crown Solicitor should be asked after testing whether he will act in subsequent proceedings.
