The annual report reflects on what was an extremely busy year for the court. The judiciary and the staff of the seven Māori Land Court registries have been working hard to move through the backlog of cases before the Court, there have been new judicial appointments and a host of activity has been undertaken to improve the service provided to Māori landowners.
The Māori Land Court bench have released a practice note for lending money on whenua Māori. Unlocking finance is an important part of facilitating the occupation, development, and utilisation of whenua Māori for the benefit of owners, their whānau, and their hapū and this practice note is another step on the road to realising this vision.
Chief Judge Fox says: “This is an opportunity for the Court to update Māori landowners, and the public of Aotearoa, on the ongoing work of our Court.
Judge Thomas is currently the Director at Kaupare Law and Consultancy and holds an LLB, BA from the University of Auckland. Judge Thomas has a strong interest in the retention, development and promotion of all aspects of te Ao Māori.
In Pātaka Whenua, you can find information about your whenua, search the court record, make an application or enquiry online and pay the application filing fee.
“Pātaka Whenua also enables a connectedness that has not existed before – whānau living in across the ditch and further afield will have the same access to the court record, a taonga tuku iho, as those who are able to visit us in person today.” As well as an external portal, Pātaka Whenua serves as a case management system for te Kooti, in which kaimahi will complete majority of their mahi.
She was also appointed as an Alternate Environment Court Judge in 2009. Chief Judge Fox was appointed as the Deputy Chief Judge of the Māori Land Court in 2010, and as the Chief Judge of the Court in 2023.
A mediator will be there to support everyone, including you and your whānau, and to provide an impartial view when addressing issues. The hope is that you can come to a decision about how to move forward without legal involvement.
