Man who mixed own sperm with dad’s will not have to take paternity test

High court rules Barnsley council does not have right to force man to take DNA test to determine parentage of son

A man who mixed his sperm with his father’s to help get his partner pregnant will not be forced to take a paternity test, the high court has ruled.

The man, identified as PQ as he cannot be named for legal reasons, and his partner (JK) had experienced fertility problems and were not able to afford IVF treatment, the court heard at a hearing last month.
