iVerify Malawi verified this content and determined that it is true. To arrive at this verdict, iVerify Malawi checked the ruling that High Court Judge Violet Chipao made on September 22, 2025. In the ruling Judge Chipao said, “Upon going through the application, sworn statement verifying grounds for judicial review and the skeleton arguments in support of the application, the court noted a number of irregularities or errors in the manner in which the documents were prepared, including typos, wrong citations of provisions in some respects, unclear arguments and compounding of facts among others. It would appear the application was done in a hurry and without
proof such that in some respects, it is difficult to appreciate what Counsel intended to communicate to the court. In this regard, the application cannot be granted. It is dismissed with liberty to refile a
properly drafted application and supporting documents if the Applicant so wishes. If the Applicant decides to refile the judicial review proceedings, the application for leave should be made with notice to the Respondent.”
