Cape Town - Somerset West businessman Jason Smit has succeeded in his Constitutional Court action, halting his extradition to the United Kingdom (UK) for charges relating to drug smuggling.
This after the Constitutional Court ordered a section of the Extradition Act unconstitutional and invalid.
The apex court also declared that two schedules in the Drugs and Drug Trafficking Act were invalid and unconstitutional, and gave Parliament 24 months to make amendments.
Smit was arrested in March last year following a raid by Strand police and the Hawks after they found a large cannabis production facility and uncovered a hydroponic cannabis laboratory.
