A Māori incorporation has a structure like a company and can be set up over any Māoriland.
Some examples of steps you may consider include:

seeking advice or continuing with further mediation outside of the MāoriLand Court
investigating further options if you’re not satisfied with the outcome of mediation.
If you have a current application in the MāoriLand Court that is being delayed by a dispute, you can ask for your application to be put on hold while you attempt to settle the dispute outside of court.
