Adultery – can I sue the mistress?



Q  I would like sue the mistress for alienation of affection. Can you help?

A  In a judgment handed down by the Supreme Court of Appeal on 25 September 2014, in the case of RH v DE (Case No:  594/2013), the court found that “the action derived from the actio iniuriarum and based on adultery, which afforded the innocent spouse a claim for both contumelia and loss of consortium, is no longer wrongful in the sense that it attracts liability and is thus no longer available as part of our law”.
