Zikalala says Fraser will only be liable for costs if the court finds he took the wrong decision by releasing the former head of state on medical parole.
Former president Jacob Zuma is likely to escape being sent back to prison as the court would shy away from double punishment, according to a legal expert.
Mpumelelo Zikalala of Zikalala Attorneys said yesterday Zuma will not be sent to jail because he “was not the person that took the wrong decision of releasing himself”.
“It was a decision beyond his control.
The failure of the decision maker should not fall on him and [he] should not be punished for it.”
According to Zikalala, should the court find against Zuma and the time he spent outside should not be considered.
