Legislative changes affecting incorporations
Effective from Waitangi Day, 6 February 2021
Register of interest and annual declaration
Māori incorporations must establish and maintain an interests
register for the Māori land held by the incorporation.
The register will record, for each member of the management
committee: details of member’s interest in the Māori freehold
land incorporated; the dealings in the interests by the
member; and declarations made by members.
Currently Aotearoa New Zealand has 11 women judges of Māori ancestry who serve on the High Court, District Court and Māori Land Court. That figure represents about 4.8% of the judiciary.
This form should not be used if the decision or determination of the Māori Land Court is an interim or preliminary
decision in which there remain outstanding matters for the Court to address.
Judge Milner is well-versed in the work of both the Māori Land Court and Waitangi Tribunal through his extensive work representing land owners and claimant groups in both jurisdictions, alongside his work in Treaty settlement negotiations and experience in resource management, intellectual property and Marine and Coastal Area cases.
