Section 54 Revocation of adoptions on legitimationI1

Where any child adopted by one natural parent as sole adoptive parent subsequently becomes a legitimated person on the marriage of, or formation of a civil partnership by, the natural parents, the court by which the adoption order was made may, on the application of any of the parties concerned, revoke the order.

In relation to an adoption order made by a county court, the reference to the court by which the order was made includes a reference to any other county court.
