Abstract
In a decision of 14 January 2023, the Egyptian Supreme Constitutional Court confirmed the constitutionality of Decree-Law 32/2014 abolishing public interest litigation. Public interest litigation in the past was an important political means permitting NGOs to submit the privatization of public enterprises and the allocation of state land to judicial scrutiny. The long-awaited decision conforms to a tendency of limiting judicial control in the interest of economic stability, hereby giving state-lead economic development the priority over citizens’ rights and participation.
