These Regulations provide new rights to paternity and adoption leave, to curtail adoption leave and to shared parental leave in respect of cases which involve a person who has applied with another person for a parental order under section 54 of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 or intends to apply for such an order. Under this section a court may make an order providing for a child of a surrogate mother to be treated as the child of the applicants for the order if certain conditions are satisfied.
