The Māori Land Court is notifying all owners of the above block about the following hui: Whenua: Lot 26 Reserve 873 (199 Tuahiwi Rd) Date: Thursday, 27 February Time: 10 am Venue: Māori Land Court 20 Lichfield Street Christchurch Kaupapa:
Clean up notice from Waimakariri District Council
Agree on next steps
Vote on whether to form an ahu whenua trust, or alternative options for managing the whenua in future.
The modern Māori Land Court exists in an environment that is significantly different to that in which was created on 30 October 1865 by the General Assembly of the New Zealand Colony under the Native Lands Act 1865.
The practitioners were given a chance to mingle with the judges, to ask questions of them and, just as importantly, to form connections with other women lawyers. It is hoped that this will be the first of a series of such events.
Part of that includes exposing harassment, in whatever form, when you see it. But it also includes taking active steps to promote your own health and well-being.
