Beneficiary class and underlying ownership The Court must have regard to Māori customary concepts relating to tūrangawaewae and ancestry in determining the beneficiaries of a Māori reservation.
There are various other Acts which we operate under, including:
Māori Purposes Act 1983
The Māori Purposes Act 1983 enables the Court to determine entitlements to Tītī Islands interests.
Preferred applicants will be those determined to have the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience
across categories A through C as set out in this booklet.
It sets out how Judge Reeves dealt with an application for accretion and for determination of ownership, where ownership records had not been maintained for over 100 years.
