Historically, trust applications were heard by a Māori Land
Court judge.
Now, if your application is assessed to be ‘simple and
uncontested’, then it can be decided by a Māori Land Court
registrar without a court sitting (unless you request to be
heard by a judge in a court sitting).
The mediation conversations will not
be part of the public courtrecord.
If necessary, a judge may make a court order to formalise
what has been agreed by the parties.
The special
bond between Māori people and the land is
recognised by the Māori Land Court, and the
records held by this Court form an invaluable
part of the whakapapa of all Māori.
