It appears that Sam v COG is the first case  to be decided by the High Court of New Zealand in the exercise of its jurisdiction as a separate Court of justice for Tokelau.  This case note deals in turn with the structure of Tokelau’s court system, the judgment in Sam v COG, and the future of the system.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Victoria University of Wellington Law Review}, author={Angelo, AH and Allan, Ashleigh}, year={2012}, month={Dec.}, pages={645–650} }
