John Didcott
John Mowbray Didcott was a South African judge who was a Justice of the Constitutional Court of South Africa from the court's opening on 14 February 1995 until his death.
“The bad parts of the statute are not judicially severable, I consider, from the rest of its provisions that deal with imprisonment. Their roots are entangled too tenaciously in the surrounding soil for a clean extraction to be feasible. The conclusion to which I accordingly come is that we are left with no option but to declare those provisions as a whole to be constitutionally invalid on account of their objectionable overbreadth.”
