Sir Frederik Gordon Roy Ward OBE is a retired British judge who has served in various countries of the Commonwealth. He was a judge on the Supreme Court of Tonga. He resigned this post in protest at attempts to ban the Taimi 'o Tonga newspaper, a paper unsympathetic to the government, a move which he considered to be unconstitutional. On leaving this post, he took up a new position as the Chairman of the Appeal Court of Fiji.[1] He later became Chief Justice of the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Ward was knighted in the 2012 New Year Honours for services to the judiciary in the Turks and Caicos Islands and the Commonwealth.[2]
