Justice Howard Pemba ruled to discharge permission for judicial review and lifted the injunction that had temporarily halted the enforcement of the 2015 Environmental Management (Plastics) Regulations (EMR2015).

The High Court in Lilongwe dismissed plastic manufacturers' challenge against Malawi’s thin plastics ban, citing abuse of court process and suppression of material facts. Justice Howard Pemba ruled that the manufacturers deliberately delayed enforcement by filing repeated legal challenges since 2014. The court also found their nine-year delay in seeking judicial review unjustified, marking a victory for environmental regulations.
