To celebrate this significant occasion a special evening event was organised where women judges of the Māori Land Court and the District Court talked to Māori women practitioners about their career paths and how they became judges. 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.
At 2025 Chief Judge’s MB 373-390 (4 February 2025) the Court made orders amending a succession order to Teone Karepe I or Hoani Karepe at 32 T 117-119 (30 May 1972) and cancelling a succession order to Porokuru Te Kiwi at 155 ROT MB 234 (30 November 1970).

This service is based on the values and beliefs of Māori.
If an owner of Māori freehold land in multiple ownership has paid more than their share of water services changes, they can apply to the Māori Land Court for a “charging order” to recover the excess amount paid.
The whānau trust AGMs follow the ahu whenua trust AGM i.e. they choose their representative away from the ahu whenua trust meeting, after hearing how it is being administered. The exception, of course, is the election of their representative on the ahu whenua trust before its inaugural AGM.
So, my first message today is to not worry too much about set-backs in your career – they are inevitable. It is how you respond to those set-backs that matters.
When one adds to the mix the underlying principles of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 – namely of land retention and land utilisation, in effect two competing principles – then the challenges facing Māori land owners and the Māori Land Court can be quite difficult. How can we make a difference with the development of Māori land?
