This is the narrative of a piece of land in Te Tau Ihu – Aorere. It sets out how Judge Reeves dealt with an application for accretion and for determination of ownership, where ownership records had not been maintained for over 100 years.
If you would prefer to attend remotely, you can seek approval from the judge to attend by video or telephone.
If there is sufficient evidence produced to satisfy the Court of the case against you, judgment against you may be given in your absence.
The Māori Land Court moved to a new database, Pātaka Whenua, in late May 2023 replacing the Māori Land Information System (MLIS).
Some examples of steps you may consider include: continuing with a current application in the Māori Land Court submitting a further application to the Māori Land Court seeking advice or continuing with further mediation outside of the Māori Land Court.
