Illustration for Adoption Act 1955

When you want to publish a report of any court proceedings under the Adoption Act, you need to follow certain rules. These rules are found in sections 11B to 11D of the Family Court Act 1980. If the proceedings are in a court other than the Family Court, you read the rules as if they were talking about that other court.
