Does he have parental rights?

So my son's father was court ordered that he could only see our son in a contact centre once a month. This was over 2 years ago and he has made no effort to see him and it has now been 3 years since my son last saw his father as an emergency order was granted to not allow him access until the case went to court.

I have two questions. Does he still have PR? He's on the birth certificate so I'm going to say yes, but unsure slightly with the court ordering only supervised contact.

The second question being, if sons father decides he wants contact now, restraining order no longer being in place, can he demand/go back to court for alternative contact, or does it remain being in the contact centre?

He's made several statements to mutual friends that his solicitor said just wait til the restraining order is over and you'll have the right to come to my house and ask to see son as he still has PR by being on the birth certificate. I'm 100% sure no solicitor would say that, but it got me wondering. He appears to be under the impression that because he hasn't been in trouble with the law regarding DV that it shows he's turned a new leaf and will be granted unsupervised visits.
