Proceedings on foot or not
As noted above, one of the benefits of the proposed mediation process is that mediation is

As a result, from time to time the Māori Land Court receives applications to extend existing urupā, or to set aside Māori freehold land, or sometimes General land owned by Māori, as new urupā reservations.
