One title would represent the totality of the shares currently held by the Seymour whanau (32.21252 shares) to be vested in (Phillip Douglas Seymour, Pauline Ruth McKay, Selwyn Gerald Martin Seymour, Edward James Seymour, and Caroline Ngawaiata Rowena Power) as to their respective shares, with the other title vested in the owners, being the whanāu of Tame Horomona Rehe.
Justice Joe Williams himself was the Chief Judge of the Maori Land Court before his appointment to the higher courts, and indeed the Chief Judge before him, the Honourable Sir Edward Taihakurei Durie, is also an alumnus. And although the records on the earliest Judges of the Court are often incomplete, it appears that Judge Hugh Fraser Ayson was the first VUW graduate to be appointed as a Judge of this Court.
