# The Family Proceedings (Amendment) (No. 2) Rules 1994, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Rules)
Section 30 of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 (c. 37) confers power upon the court to make a parental order in respect of a child in favour of a married couple, at least one of whom is the genetic parent and where the child has been born as a result of a surrogacy arrangement satisfying certain conditions. These Rules amend the Family Proceedings Rules 1991 and prescribe the procedure to be followed in connection with applications for such an order in the High Court and county courts. They also prescribe the procedure for making an application under sections 27(1) (leave to apply for removal of a child from the home of a person with whom he lives), 29(1) (order for the return of a child who has been removed from the home of a person with whom he lives) and 29(2) (order directing a person not to remove the child from the home of a person with whom he lives) of the Adoption Act 1976 as applied with modifications by the Parental Orders (Human Fertilisation and Embryology) Regulations 1994.
