The second session of Tonga’s Court of Appeal for 2018 heard four appeals with judgments to be delivered on Friday, September 7.

Vice President Hon. Justice Kenneth Handley, Hon. Justice Sir Peter Blanchard and Hon. Justice Rodney Hansen presided over three land cases and one criminal case.

This included Nginingini & Anor –v- Nginingini and Ministry of Lands; Pekipaki-v- Fifita & Ors; Wight –v- Wight & Ministry of Lands; and a criminal case Fonua-v- Rex.

The criminal case appeal is by Selemana Fonua a former pay supervisor at Tanoa Hotel (Tonga) who was sentenced to two-years imprisonment for falsification of accounts and theft charges. She is appealing against her conviction at the Supreme Court.

One of the land appeals, the Nginingini case arose from a family dispute. 'Alisi Nginingini is appealing against a Land Court decision, after she was not granted an order to evict her brother’s widow from a land she had lived on for more than 15-years.

The Appeal Court started on September 3.
