That is a very difficult case. The truism of bad cases making bad laws is a very complicated issue.

I was curious about one other matter. We had the discussion last week and earlier today about pre-birth versus post-birth recognition of parentage and parentage orders. With regard to the child arriving in the jurisdiction, how does that work in terms of the UK's courts and immigration? Can intending parents get recognition? Can Ms Gamble talk about the difficulties around immigration status for international surrogacy?
