Business law in Malawi

Legal Framework

Independence of Justice
The Constitution states that "the judiciary shall have the responsibility of interpreting, protecting and enforcing the Constitution and all laws and in an independent and impartial manner with regard only to legally relevant facts and the prescriptions of law".
In general, judges are independent, however the overall perceptions of judicial independence are still weak. The appointments process in particular is still opaque and sometimes influenced by the government; this undermines judicial legitimacy.
