LAND JURISDICTION
HELD AT ONGTOA
REPUBLIC OF KIRIBATI

HIGH COURT LAND APPEAL 52 OF 2002

BETWEEN:

NEI TAAI TOOMA
APPELLANT

AND:

RITATI TEITAO
RESPONDENT

FOR THE APPELLANT: MR JOHN O'SULLIVAN
FOR THE RESPONDENT: MR AOMORO AMTEN

DATE OF HEARING: 17 NOVEMBER 2003

JUDGMENT
(Ex Tempore)

Mr O'Sullivan has argued that this decision is unsafe. He advanced six separate reasons in support of his argument. None of the six on its own would be sufficient to make the decision unsafe. Nor do we think that added together they should lead us to conclude the decision is unsafe.

Reading the magistrates' reasons the decision looks to be a reasonable one. It should stand.
The appeal is dismissed.
