Other acts and legislation
We hear applications relating to Māori freehold land under select Acts, or parts of them, including:
Property Law Act 2007
Family Protection Act 1955
Government Roading Powers Act 1989
Law Reform (Testamentary Promises) Act 1949
Local Government Act 1974.
The major ownership of the land (which has an area of 1.4011 ha situated in Whittaker Road, Rotorua) has been held since 1968 in a long-term testamentary trust for eight of the testator’s children and their descendants.
Conversely, the use of the phrase ‘tino rangatiratanga’ or ‘unfettered
chiefly powers’40 in the Māori Text is often relied upon by Māori to assert that sovereignty over their
lands, resources and other taonga was never ceded to the British Crown, but rather Māori authority was
retained and preserved.
From
