SECTION APPLICANT SUBJECT SP2 2:00 PM AP-20250000007925 231/93 Makere Hetet Review of the Robert Johnson Whānau Trust - Judicial Settlement Conference for Responsible Trustees ‘ONLY’
The Act stipulates that the Court's objective is to keep Māori lands in Māori hands, protect wāhi tapu, and assist landowners in living on, developing, and using their land for the benefit of all owners, their whānau, and their hapū. Our rules and regulations The Māori Land Court Rules 2011 set out how we operate, including how we receive, review, notify, process, and conclude applications.
Since 1 July 1993, shares in a Māori incorporation are deemed to be interests in Māori land and unless there’s an exemption, they’re treated the same as Māori land interests. Whānau trusts A whānau trust can be set up at the time of succession.
