M sought to establish that the defendant was the father of her child. Her complaint being out of time, she had to rely upon section 2(1)(b) to establish responsibility. The putative father had not given her money for maintenance but had contributed to the cost of a pram, and had given trousers and a jumper on his first birthday.
Held: The contributions were sufficient under the section to allow the court to find him to be the father.
