Historically, most succession applications were heard by a Māori Land Court judge. Now, if your succession application is assessed to be ‘simple and uncontested’, then it can be decided by a Māori Land Court registrar without a court sitting (unless you request to be heard by a judge in a court sitting).
You may use this document to request a remittal, reduction, or refund of the fee prescribed for an application before the Māori Land Court or Māori Appellate Court under the Māori Land Court Fees Regulations 2013.
