1. First I will talk about the form of government of Tonga is a Constitutional Monarchy. King George Tupou V has been the Head of State. The Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister are appointed by the monarch and supported by a fourteen member Cabinet. Of those, ten were appointed by the monarch for life, four were appointed from among the elected members of the Legislative Assembly including two each from the noble’s and people’s representatives who serve three year terms. A Privy Council with the monarch, cabinet, and two governors also exists. Tonga has the unicameral Legislative Assembly (Fale Alea) has 32 seats, fourteen of which are reserved for cabinet ministers, nine for nobles (who are selected by Tonga’s 33 nobles). Second is the legal system of Tonga, I will talk about court structure and the legal system in Tonga. The Tongan Court structure is typical of the inferior, superior and Court of Appeal model with the addition of a Privy Council and the Land Court. For judiciary, a Privy Council is constituted of the monarch, cabinet, and two governors. The Court of Appeal constitutes the Chief Justice and other judges appointed by the monarch with the consent of the Privy Council. The Chief Justice is the President of the Court of Appeal. That court must sit with at least three members (except on appeals from interlocutory orders which may be determined by two judges). The Registrar of the Court of Appeal is also the Registrar of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court consists of a Chief Justice and judges appointed by the King with the consent of the Privy Council. In civil cases a single judge normally constitutes the courts but a party to a dispute has the right to claim trial by jury where there is any issue of fact raised. The right to trial by jury is guaranteed in relation to offences punishable by a term of imprisonment of more than two years (or a fine of 500 pa’anga).
