Ahead of the city’s Pride celebrations next month, Jim Duffy is joined by Clare Ciborowska and Pauline Troy of 1COR Brighton.  They take us through the legal, social and political history behind the concept of parenthood in the UK today. Drawing from their experience as seasoned advocates in the family courts, Clare and Pauline describe how the evolution of equality and human rights laws around sexual orientation have helped lead us to where we are today in terms of parenthood. They examine legal developments in relation to surrogacy, and the recent shelving of proposals by the Law Commission in England and Wales for significant reform in that area.
