The Constitutional Court has indicated that it will hand down judgment tomorrow on a matter arising from a riot damages claim against the trade union Satawu.

The SA Transport and Allied Workers Union took the matter to court after the Western Cape High Court found the union liable for damages from a May 2006 march by striking security guards which turned violent.

Several car owners and traders who were affected brought the claim.

The Supreme Court of Appeal upheld the High Court decision.
