Judgment is expected on Thursday in the East London High Court in the urgent application to interdict the Provincial Elective Conference of the African National Congress (ANC) in kuGompo.
Disgruntled party members took the ANC to court over their dissatisfaction regarding the convening of Branch General Meetings.
The members believe the conference cannot go ahead without their disputes being resolved by the party.
The applicants in the matter have argued that it would be illegal for the conference to go ahead.

They say 99 branches still have pending disputes which have not been resolved by the party’s National Dispute Resolution Committee.
The members alleged that branches were manipulated as a result, some did not even convene their meetings.
Their application comes as the conference is set to start on Friday.
The legal representatives of the ANC have argued that the matter is not urgent and that conference should go ahead.
