The Ombudsman can consider complaints about the administrative acts and decisions of state sector agencies.
In addition, while it remains important that kanohi-ki-te-kanohi justice is conducted in our courthouses, which play an important role as the local face of justice for our communities, we should endeavour to use alternative measures such as telephone conferencing, zoom and or AVL if this is more suitable to Māori land owners and ultimately assists Māori land owners’ access to justice.
Trustees are appointed by the Māori Land Court under the jurisdiction set out in s 222 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. In making appointments two crucial criteria must be considered.
Any final terms of trust are subject to confirmation by the Māori Land Court in accordance with
sections 219 or 244 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993.
