Leave to obtain blood and other tests as evidence
110(1)Upon the application of a party in any civil proceeding in which a court is called upon to determine the parentage of a child, the court may give the party leave to obtain blood tests, and such other tests as the court considers appropriate, of such persons as are named in the order granting leave and to submit the results in evidence.
110(2)Leave under subsection (1) may be given subject to such terms and conditions as the court considers proper.
110(3)No test shall be performed on a person without his consent, but where a person named in an order granting leave under subsection (1) is not capable of consenting to having a test taken because of age or any other reason, the consent may be given by the person having the care and control of him.
110(4)Where leave is given under subsection (1) and a person named therein refuses to submit to the test, or refuses to consent to the testing of a person under his care and control, the court may draw such inferences as it considers appropriate.
