Environmental 360 Solutions Ltd v Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority
Counsel to the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority in a successful motion to quash an application for judicial review brought by E360S. E360S sought an order of mandamus compelling RPRA to enforce certain requirements under the Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act, 2016. RPRA successfully argued that its inspection and enforcement powers are inherently discretionary and that no specific statutory duty was owed to E360S. The Court dismissed the application as “plain and obvious” that it could not succeed, underscoring the high bar for courts to interfere with regulatory enforcement discretion.

5-Year Retrospective: Insolvency & Restructuring
Matthew B. Lerner, Christopher Yung, and Ravneet Minhas' blog, 5-Year Retrospective: Insolvency & Restructuring, was published on commerciallist.com as part of the Commercial List Year in Review: 5-Year Retrospective (2021-2025) guide. In this blog, they discuss the period of doctrinal consolidation between 2021 and 2025 which is unlike anything since the 2009 statutory reforms. The recurring lesson for practitioners, in-house counsel, and business clients is to build the evidentiary record early, because restructuring outcomes are often determined before filing — by the quality of financial disclosure, corporate structure, and stakeholder management.
