The Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) said it would be negligent to let an advocate who lied in submissions to court loose on the unsuspecting public.

However, in a further affidavit following the society’s dissatisfaction with her explanation, she admitted that the initial credit card statement in respect of her Blue Bean account, attached to her answering affidavit, was not correct.

Although the high court found Van Zyl's conduct"reprehensible", it declined to strike her name from the roll. In its judgment on Thursday, the SCA said Van Zyl stole money from the floor fund and that these amounts were repaid. The SCA said she perjured herself in her answering affidavit in a number of respects.
