In the issues paper produced
in April 2021 by the Law Commission entitled “Review of Succession: Rights to a person’s property on
death” the paper identifies a number of tikanga that I consider to be relevant and reproduce here.
TIKA
Professor Hohepa has described tika as the “major principle” that overarches and guides formalities
and practice in Māori society.
After purchasing a number of
undivided share interests the Crown would then
Hohepa Tamamatu (ca 1870-1880).
HISTORICAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE COURT 1862–1890s
Gradually, the Court came to be a familiar and
established part of the Māori world.
