Spencer v Anderson (Paternity Testing: Jurisdiction) [2016] EWHC 851 (Fam), [2016] All ER (D) 140 (Apr)
The Family Division held that there was no statutory power to direct post-mortem scientific testing to establish biological relationships but that the order that a stored DNA sample of a deceased could be tested alongside a sample of the applicant’s would be made in the present case under the inherent jurisdiction of the High Court.
