New Zealander Charles Bentley Cato’s services in Tonga as Supreme Court judge would come to an end this week.
An official farewell ceremony is expected to be held in Nuku’alofa tomorrow to say goodbye to Cato.
Cato was appointed to the post since 2012 replacing British judge Robert Shuster whose tenure has ended.
Mr Cato, a former Rhodes scholar, has taught and practiced law in New Zealand and Australia for 30 years.
