MĀORI LAND COURT CONTACT DETAILS
This application may be lodged with the Registrar at any office of the Māori Land Court.
The main priorities for the Court now are first, to remedy errors in the lists, using s 86 of TTWMA, and second, to update the list of successors based on previous and new evidence, the latter of which requires hearings to be held so evidence can be heard. An applicationform based on the existing form for successions has been modified for the purposes of SILNA determinations, and individual applications are linked to a central file to ensure consistency.
Step 1
Complete the required applicationform MLC-Form-1-General-application.pdf and
if appropriate a request for fee waiver MLC-Document-A1-request-waiver.pdf
Step 2
