The decision, made by judges Aliza Sulaiman, who is now a judge on the Court of Appeal, found that the exclusion order was primarily driven by economic considerations related to the government's plan to impose a tax on nicotine vape products before the Tobacco Products Control Act 2024 came into effect on October 1st, 2024.
