| dc.description.abstract | This paper examines the operations of administrative law in Malawi, and how its mechanisms influence the ways in which environmental agencies function. Existing literature suggests that judicial review has become an important tool for testing the compatibility of the actions of government agencies against the Constitution. The increasing importance of administrative law in environmental governance has also been documented. Malawian Courts assert that the purpose of judicial review is to ensure fair treatment of applicants. However, study findings show that political considerations affect the rate and direction of rulemaking more than judicial considerations. | en |
