What happened
The High Court of Malawi Commercial Division discharged an injunction on August 28, 2026, which had prevented Malawi Agricultural and Industrial Investment Corporation from recovering overdue loans. The court found that loan agreements existed between the 48 claimants and Maiic, and the loans were overdue because the claimants defaulted on repayment obligations.
