Judiciary of Tokelau information


The Judiciary of Tokelau formally consists of the Commissioner’s Court and Appeal Committee of each village, the High Court and the Court of Appeal.

In practice, however, no dispute from Tokelau has ever been litigated outside Tokelau. There has been a strong community feeling that disputes are matters for the community and the community alone. This has meant that, to date, community thinking has been opposed to any thought of having a case decided in another village, let alone outside Tokelau.[1]
