The Supreme court on Tuesday granted an order discharging an injunction obtained by Billy Malata, a member of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) before the party held its National Governing Council (NGC) meeting early this month.
In his ruling Justice of Appeal Dingiswayo Madise discharged the order of stay which was granted ex parte.
However, in an interview with local media, Malata’s lawyer Wapona Kita said what it means is that the NGC meeting proceeded under avoidable order of the court because the party had not complied with the conditions on which the order was made.
“I will be meeting with my clients within the course of the week to re- strategise on the next course of action in view of the order which the Supreme Court has granted us,” said Kita.
The court also slapped the respondents DPP with costs in the matter after Kita filled a certificate of non-compliance.
Last month the High Court in Lilongwe granted Malata an injunction restraining the party’s secretary general Grezelder Jeffrey, it’s spokesperson Shadric Namalomba and the DPP from holding the NGC until a further order of the court.
