New South Wales Consolidated Acts

SURROGACY ACT 2010 - SECT 45

45 Effect of discharge of parentage order

(1) On the discharge of a parentage order, the rights, privileges, duties, liabilities and relationships of the child and all other persons are the same as if the parentage order had not been made.

(2) However, the discharge of a parentage order does not affect:

(a) anything lawfully done, or the consequences of anything lawfully done, while the parentage order was in force, or

(b) a right, privilege or liability acquired, accrued or incurred while the parentage order was in force.

(3) For the purposes of any law of New South Wales relating to a sexual offence (being a law for which the relationship between persons is relevant), any relationship that would have existed if a discharge order had not been made continues to exist for the purposes of that law in addition to any relationship that exists under this section by virtue of the order.

(4) This section applies except to the extent the Court otherwise orders.
