The High Court in Johannesburg dismissed an urgent Rule 43(6) application in a dispute about a minor child. The judgment says the applicant sought to vary a 22 May 2025 Rule 43 order, including by changing primary care and ending a clinical psychologist’s mandate, but the court ordered compliance with the existing order instead. The court also directed that the child be returned to the respondent, that the psychologist continue her forensic investigation, and that the Family Advocate compile a report.
This may be relevant to family law matters involving Rule 43 orders, parental care and residency, and forensic investigations concerning a minor child.
