The Information Regulators decision to escalate the matter of publishing matric results in newspapers to the Supreme Court of Appeal SCA has been welcomed in certain quarters.

This comes after a Pretoria High Court ruling in mid-December that dismissed the Regulators bid to halt the publication of matric results in newspapers, calling its argument that exam numbers compromise privacy fanciful.
