The restriction on the freedom to provide human fertility treatment to licensees of the Authority was not a breach of the EU treaty. There is a particular need for certainty in provisions affecting the status of a child. There is a mental element inherent in the notion of 'treatment together' and if the respondent had believed at all material times that the treatment which was being provided in which his sperm alone was to be used, the treatment of the applicant with donor sperm would not have amounted to services provided for them together. The test is not whether the man consented either to be deemed in law to be the father of the prospective child or to become legally responsible for him. The subsection concentrates on what would be expected of unmarried couples in a stable relationship who are seeking to bring a child into being jointly as their child. The test which it adopts is whether the relevant treatment services were provided for the woman and the man together. "In my view what has to be demonstrated is that, in the provision of treatment services with donor sperm, the doctor was responding to a request for that form of treatment made by the woman and the man as a couple, notwithstanding the absence in the man of any physical role in such treatment."

The question was whether doctors owed a duty of care to the parents of their deceased son in relation to events which occurred after death when the parents were allegedly given misleading or false information by doctors. Held: An unlawful act actionable at the suit of the claimant was a necessary ingredient of unlawful means conspiracy.
No duty of care was owed because the element of proximity was lacking. "It was to him [the child] that the defendants owed a duty of care. The discharge of that duty in the case of a young child will often involve giving advice and instruction to the parents so that they can administer the appropriate medication, observe relevant symptoms and seek further medical assistance if need be. In giving such advice, the doctor obviously owes a duty to be careful. But the duty is owed to the child, not to the parents." and "After the death, the defendants may owe the plaintiffs a duty of care; but this depends upon whether they are called upon, or undertake, to treat them as patients."

The applicant complained of having been struck off the register of nurses. He said that when he told the court that he wanted to appeal he was sent forms appropriate for a judicial review. He amended and submitted them. In correcting him, the court office again misled him. Held. The court was unable to extend the time for filing the original appeal, but could treate the original document as an appeal and extend time for service.
