JUDGMENT – APPLICATION BY THE PRESS

WRIGHT J

1.	The parties are in agreement that the Rule 43 Application is confidential. They do not want a journalist, Ms P Joubert to be present in court, to be able to read the papers or to report on the matter in a way which identifies the parties.
2.	The two children referred to in the Rule 43 Application are 21 and 23 years of age. 
3.	In my view the rights of the press and the public are sufficiently important that I make the following order.

Order:
1.	Ms Joubert, any other journalist and members of the public may remain in court while the Rule 43 Application is being argued.
2.	Any person may read the documents filed in the Rule 43 Application being heard by Wright J.
3.	All persons are entitled to a copy of this judgment and the judgment in the Rule 43 Application.
4.	The press may report on this application by the press and on the Rule 43 Application. 
5.	No person may report on either this application or on the Rule 43 Application in any way that allows a reader to identify or be able to identify either the parties or either of their children.
