CAP. 141 Children [Rev. 2012] 166. Parental responsibility when adoption is refused If the court refuses to make an adoption order, the court may make such order in respect of parental responsibilities for the child as the court may think fit. 167. Appeals Any person aggrieved by the making or refusal to make of an adoption order or an order pertaining to parental responsibility for a child may appeal therefrom in the same manner as if the application were a suit instituted under the Civil Procedure Act (Cap. 21). 168. Amendment of orders (1) The court by which an adoption order has been made under the Adoption Act (Cap. 143) (now repealed) may, on the application of the adopter amend the order by the correction of any defect in the particulars contained therein; and where an adoption order is so amended, the court shall cause the amendment to be communicated in the prescribed manner to the Registrar-General who shall cause the Adopted Children Register to be amended accordingly. (2) Where the adoption order was made before the commencement of this Act, the power of the court under subsection (1) shall include power to amend the order — (a) by the insertion of the country of birth of the adopted person; or (b) where the order does not specify a precise date as the date of the adopted person’s birth, by the insertion of the date which appears to the court to be the probable date of such birth, and the provisions of that subsection shall have effect accordingly. (3) Where an adoption order is quashed or an appeal against an adoption order is allowed, the court which made the order shall give directions to the RegistrarGeneral to cancel any entry in the Register of Births and any entry in the Adopted Children Register which was effected in pursuance of the order.
