English courts cannot investigate whether fertility clinic's sperm mix-up was error or fraud

A UK couple used a Sri Lankan clinic for surrogacy but DNA tests showed neither twin was fathered by the intended parent. Justice Peel ruled the clinic's explanations implausible but noted family courts lack authority to determine whether the substitution was negligent mistake or deliberate misconduct. That accountability question now falls outside English law's reach, leaving only foreign regulatory frameworks to pursue it.
