I mean can I leave my present job by taking paternity leave and go and sign a new contract in another EU country?

Read the rules. I've linked to them below. Note that the DTI site says ". . . is taking leave either to care for his child or to support the mother or both;"
That suggests you have to be caring for baby and mother, not galavanting off to Europe to make money. But what do I know.

If you really can take paternity leave, why on earth would you want to work in another country, instead of spending your time with your new baby????

Even if you could, surely you could see that was wrong and wouldn't want to. Some companies really struggle with people on maternaty and paternity leave because they can't afford it, you would really be taking advantage of the system if you did that.

And then you'd get sacked because paternity leave allows you the choice of being unavailable for work to be with your child ,if you are working elsewhere then you are available for work and committing an offence

Yes, but it would be illegal. During paternity leave your employer is still paying social premiums for you and that's the clincher. If you take sabbatical then it would be OK.

That would be considered fraud in many countries.
Be careful.
You may be spending your paternity leave in prison.
