Richard Jones and Tom Wilson appeared in a child arrangements dispute on behalf of a mother and step-father of children born through an international surrogacy arrangement. 

Keehan J commented on the ‘absurdity of the law’ not recognising the children’s intended legal parentage. He  expressed his frustration that he is prevented ‘without any obvious good, legal or policy reason from making orders which explicitly recognise them as the legal mother and the legal father of these children.’
