The High Court of Malawi has dismissed an application for judicial review that was brought by the Roads Authority against the Office of the Ombudsman.

It also sought an order of injunction stopping the implementation of the Ombudsman’s determination requiring it to re-assess and compensate Mr. Allan Mukhwapa pending the hearing and determination of the within proceedings.
