“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.
