Last month’s hearing was postponed because Kouwenhoven had broken his leg and was recovering from surgery in hospital.
Conflict with a separate high court case in which Kouwenhoven is challenging the nature of his arrest in Cape Town in November 2017 was another factor in magistrate Vusi Mhlanga’s decision to postpone the matter again.
“If the high court matter is successful‚ this matter will most likely be annulled‚” said Eisenberg.
Berg agreed to the postponement but said that the extradition hearing should not be delayed too much longer.
“These proceedings shouldn’t be held to ransom‚” he said. “We might wait till the cows come home at this rate.”
The matter will resume on June 25.
