Justice Terrence Harold Foulds

Justice Foulds passed on early yesterday (September 17^th) morning in Mt Hagen while serving a term of three years.

The PNG Judiciary is currently arranging his repatriation to Port Moresby.

He was 67 when he was appointed on 31 October 2016 and sworn into office on 19 December 2016.

At the time of his appointment to the PNG bench, Foulds was the principal/senior crown counsel, civil litigation in the office of the Director of Public Prosecution and the Solicitor General’s Litigation Division in Hobart, Tasmania. 

These judges were sworn into office last year.

They are Justice William Neil, Justice Robert Lee Lindsay, Justice Terrence Harold Foulds, Justice Jeffery Leonard Shepherd and female judge Leka Nama Nablu.

Justice William Neil was not present today as he was on medical leave.

A Supreme Court Ceremonial sitting is held every year and these judges were not officially welcomed last year due to the sitting that was held in honour of the late Justice Catherine Anne Davani.
