The legal defeat of this father is in fact a victory. That's how this decision is commented. The court could have said surrepetitious tests are unconstitutional and nothing more (because that was all that was asked). But the court went much farther and stated our constitution gives a father "the right to know whether a child is his child or not" and that therefore a child (which in reality means: the mother) has to agree to an open paternity test. The position of fathers has been strengthened a lot by this decision.
