This Act (introduced as a private member's bill) contains provisions relating to the circumstances in which a man is treated in law as the father of a child where the child has resulted from certain fertility treatment undertaken after the man's death. This Act follows a High Court ruling that the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 was incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights. The case had been brought by Diane Blood, who wanted the right to have her late partner legally recognised as the father of her children (born from his frozen sperm after his death) on their birth certificates. This Act amends the 1990 to ensure that domestic law complies with both the European Convention on Human Rights and the Human Rights Act.
