Constitutional decision in four weeks [1]

Nuku'alofa, Tonga

Thursday, September 2, 2004 - 17:35.  Updated on Monday, May 5, 2014 - 16:58.

The submissions for a Judicial Review, challenging the amendment of Clause 7 of the Tongan Constitution ended in Nuku'alofa this afternoon. The Judicial Review is the first time ever for an amendment to the Tongan Constitution to be challenged in court.

Chief Justice Webster announced that he will deliver his decision in four weeks time. Because of pressure of other court cases, the Chief Justice said he needed more time to make his decision.

For the details of the final submission by the legal counsel of the two parties on the fourth and the final day of hearing, see Matangi Tonga Online tomorrow.
