The bench remains concerned about the cost of the delays. It’s not about the backlog, rather it’s the impact that the delays have had on Māori land owners, their whanau and their hapū, as ultimately justice delayed is justice denied.
Appeals
If you, or some other party to the
application, consider that the Judge’s
decision is wrong based on the evidence
that was presented, then an appeal can be
lodged.

Rights of way
A right of way allows the use of a specific route across someone else’s property to access land. Unlike a road, a right of way isn’t publicly accessible, and it’s not guaranteed to have a survey plan, so the area and dimensions may be unclear.
