A significant number of applications were adjourned during this period - in April alone approximately 500 cases were notified in the National Pānui, and subsequently adjourned under the Chief Judge’s protocol to be heard at a later date.
Our hoamahi over at Te Puni Kōkiri is hosting their next Whenua Māori Wānanga, scheduled for 10 April 2024 at 9 Ronwood Avenue, Manukau. All information is in the below pānui.
The former Chief Judge, Judge Isaac, retired from his role on 30 April, and accordingly Deputy Chief Judge Fox and Deputy Chairperson Judge Reeves have taken up the roles of Acting Chief Judge and Acting Chairperson respectively.

The working list of potential owners was updated at a sitting of the Māori Land Court in Te
Waipounamu on 26 April 2022, minute book 76 Te Waipounamu 246-311.
As it happens,
the Crown had already acquired a large part
of what is today the national park before the
allocation of the peaks to the government
by the Native Land Court in September 1887.
On 5 April 1887, the huge Waimarino block,
which extends to the Whanganui River but
which also included much of the western side
of Mt Ruapehu, was partitioned between the
Crown and the Waimarino non-sellers.
