During the holiday period, Māori Land Court offices will be closed from 3pm, Wednesday 24 December 2025 and will reopen 10am, Monday 5 January 2026.
A national service for only urgent injunction applications is available Monday 29, Tuesday 30 and Wednesday 31 December. More details can be found here.
Due to limited access to the building, the Auckland Information Office is available by appointment only. Please contact us by email at mlctamakimakaurau@justice.govt.nz
And speaking of the Supreme Court, it would be remiss of me not to acknowledge the recent appointment of Justice Joe Williams to the Supreme Court bench. He is the first Maori to be appointed to our highest court.
For further information, please contact the Office of the Chief Registrar in Wellington, quoting the
appropriate application number at:
