Abstract
The common law action against a third party who had committed adultery with a spouse has long been regarded as a legal peculiarity. Its presence in our law was awkward, and out of step with the legal positions in other countries. The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) judgment in RH v DE abolishing the actions for contumelia and loss of consortium on the basis of adultery therefore elicited great public and legal interest.
