title: S.M. v. R.P., 1987.
abstract: The Court agreed to issue a declaration of paternity with respect to an unborn child conceived as the result of a surrogate mother contract. The pregnant mother brought the action.  She had been artificially inseminated with the sperm of her sister's husband and wanted him to be declared the father of the child. None of the parties to the case contested paternity or custody and the Court deemed it unnecessary to have a blood test performed.
