If the Constitutional Court finds that the agreement is invalid, it could pave the way for Brett Kebble murder suspect John Stratton, currently in Australia, to challenge South Africa's extradition agreement with Australia.
However, Stratton had failed in an attempt to become part of the current case before the Constitutional Court, Beeld newspaper reported on Monday.
The court dismissed an application by him to become a party in the case about the extradition agreement between South Africa and the United States.
Stratton wanted the court to find that the agreement with Australia was also invalid.
But the court refused his application, and also refused an amicus curiae application by him, saying that Stratton did not lodge his papers according to the rules of the court.
The Constitutional Court was set to hear arguments in the SA-US extradition case on August 26.
