Ngā Tuku Whakatau a Te Kooti Whenua Māori
Māori Land Court Judgment Delivery
A guide to the process by which parties to proceedings before the court may obtain information about the status of any reserved decision, and for information relating to outstanding judgments.
In 1993, the Te Ture Whenua Māori Act was introduced with the purpose of preventing the loss of any more Māori land – which currently makes up approximately 6% of all land in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Tēnā koutou katoa, We are sorry for the delays in processing and any frustration you may be experiencing. Te Kooti Whenua Māori has been on a change journey for the past few years.
The first step in filing an appeal or charging order application is to gather any supporting documents and complete the general form of application ( Form 1 ).
HE KUPU WHAKATŪPATO As part of our responsibility to care and protect the court record, and because much of that record is old and sometimes fragile, it is not always possible to view the physical record. If you have any pātai about viewing documents in hard copy, please contact us.
In Pātaka Whenua, landowners can access this information online, from anywhere at any time. They can also submit applications and enquiries online and receive real time updates.
