“…115 Nonetheless, relying on section 3(3)(b) of the EMCA, he ordered the minister for environment to assess the status of the land and take appropriate action, effectively constituting an order to a public authority to regulate private property notwithstanding the private interest. 116 This ruling explicitly confirmed that private property rights can be regulated by public law for the purposes of environmental protection, especially for sustainable development. 117 However, notwithstanding the express provision for the liberal interpretation of locus standi under article 3 of the EMCA, environmental actions have continued to be frustrated through a restrictive interpretation of locus standi.…”
