ANC president Jacob Zuma's legal team is considering whether to approach the Constitutional Court, Zuma's attorney Michael Hulley said on Monday.

They are also making arrangements to make representations relating to Zuma's case to the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP).

"We are giving consideration to the judgment with a view to determining the appropriate legal recourse which may be exercised, which might include an application for leave to appeal to the Constitutional Court."

At the same time, they have written to the NDPP to indicate that they would like to make representations on the indictment which was served on Zuma in December 2007.

"The NPA has indicated its willingness to consider such representations and the parties are currently discussing the time frames within which this should be done."

Zuma's charges included corruption, money laundering, tax evasion and fraud. They related primarily to allegations of impropriety in an arms deal, which were put to him after his former financial adviser Schabir Shaik was convicted for corruption.

A Pietermaritzburg High Court ruling last year supported his contention that he was entitled to be consulted before being re-charged after previous prosecuting boss Bulelani Ngcuka initially declined to prosecute him.

The decision to prosecute him in 2007 was then set aside by Nicholson.

The SCA on Monday upheld an appeal on the matter by the NDPP and Zuma might be taken to court again.

Last year, the Constitutional Court heard argument on aspects of the searches carried out during Zuma's lengthy on-off prosecution.

His former financial adviser Schabir Shaik has also unsuccessfully attempted to have his corruption conviction overturned in that court.
