LAWS OF TONGA


SUPREME COURT RULES 2007


"As everybody who has anything to do with the law well knows, the path of the law is strewn with examples of open and shut cases which, somehow, were not; of
unanswerable charges which, in the event, were completely answered; of inexplicable conduct which was fully explained; of fixed and unalterable determinations that, by discussion, suffered a change."


Megarry J. - John v Rees [1970] 1 Ch 345, 402.

(3) The request or order shall be incorporated with the particulars, with each item of the particulars following immediately after the corresponding item of request or order.

(a) it discloses no reasonable cause of action or defence, as the case may be; or


(b) it is scandalous, frivolous or vexatious; or


(c) it is unclear, or may otherwise prejudice or delay the fair trial of the action; or


(d) it is otherwise an abuse of process of the Court;


and may order the action to be stayed or dismissed, or judgment to be entered accordingly.


(2) No evidence shall be heard on an application under paragraph (1) (a).


(3) Subject to paragraph 4, the Court may, of its own motion, strike out an action:
