UFS to proceed with appealing to Supreme Court of Appeal regarding new Language Policy
2016-09-29

The University of the Free State (UFS) has been granted leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal against the High Court ruling setting aside the multilingual language policy adopted by Senate and Council in March 2016.

The university has asked the Supreme Court of Appeal for an expedited date for the hearing of the matter. The university had also asked the Constitutional Court for permission to bring its appeal directly to this court.

The Constitutional Court has, however, indicated that the appeal is not to be heard by the court 'at this stage'. The UFS is accordingly taking all the required steps for a hearing by the Supreme Court of Appeal first.

Further developments will be reported.
