A woman conned her husband into thinking that he was the father of her son after undergoing IVF treatment using her ex-boyfriend's sperm, a court heard.

The husband, who has not been named to protect the identity of the child, said that in 2004, he and his wife travelled to a clinic in Barcelona, Spain, where he gave a sample of his sperm.

But he claims a few months later the woman returned to the clinic without him and was impregnated with her ex-boyfriends sperm instead. The couple have since divorced.

The man, a lecturer in his 60s, claims that he paid more than 80,000 in maintenance towards the child over a number of years and is now seeking more than 100,000 in damages.

The businesswoman, who is representing herself at the hearing, says there is 'no merit' in her ex-husbands claim.

Barrister Thomas Brudenell, who represented the man at Central London County Court, said his client was claiming damages for 'deceit'.
