Abstract

The decision of the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) in De Gree v Webb [2007] SCA 87 (RSA) is worthy of consideration for a number of reasons, reasons which do not include the prominent (emotive) media attention devoted to the facts both before the appeal, and the ongoing publicity which occurred in diverse press and radio reports after judgment was handed down. This matter is reportedly further being considered for an appeal to the Constitutional Court. This, too, indicates both the public concern with, and vested interests in, the outcome of what was widely agreed, ultimately, to be an international adoption.
