Why and how the Rules are changing The Rules set out how the Court operates – including what the Court and Registrar s must do, and what applicants and other parties need to do when filing applications and documents.
But the real challenge remains what it has always been for us all – the administration of Māori land and the delivery of services in accordance with the aspirations or rangatiratanga of Māori to retain, utilise and develop their land for the benefit of the owners, their whanau and hapu in accordance with their own cultural preferences.
Until such an application is made there is no guarantee as to how the Court would view the matter and the success of any such application would depend on its own facts.
The hope is that you can come to a decision about how to move forward without legal involvement. This service is voluntary, so everyone involved in the dispute must all agree to take part.
I/We* have notified the administrator(s) of this application.
