Deirdre Fottrell QC acted for the commissioning parents in the case of KB and RJ v RT [2016]  EWHC 760 in which Pauffley J considered how to progress an application for a parental order in an international surrogacy case where the child was stranded overseas owing to immigration problems. 

Mrs Justice Pauffley approved the approach whereby the Court determined the application under s.54 HFEA and then invited the Home Office to reconsider the immigration application.  Deirdre Fottrell appeared with Kathryn Cronin of Garden Court chambers and Jemma Dally of Goodman Ray solicitors.
