The Guardian article[1] provides more details. The case is a bit unusual, and thus the title may build wrong impression. In particular:
- the donor/biological father brought the legal case
- the pregnancy was performed through artificial insemination
- the donor was the legal father according to the birth cerificate
- the donor performed parental role
- the donor wishes to retain parental rights
- the mother wishes to move out of country with the child and a new partner
The High Court ruling is available online [2], and also the earlier Family Court appeal is [3].
