Cape Town - The DA says it is committed to calling a referendum on e-tolls in Gauteng, despite a judgment dismissing its application to have e-tolling legislation declared unconstitutional and invalid.
The DA is set to appeal the judgment handed down on Thursday.
"While the application was dismissed, it is significant that both parties will pay their own costs," Democratic Alliance Gauteng premier candidate Mmusi Maimane said.
"We are studying the judgment and will issue further comment at a later stage."
Maimane said the party was committed to calling a referendum when elected so that Gauteng residents could vote directly against e-tolling.
Western Cape High Court Judge Owen Rogers said parties would bear their own costs.
The DA was not ordered to pay costs because Rogers believed the case had raised "genuine and substantive constitutional issues".
He said the DA would have 14 days to file an application for leave to appeal.
