The most significant of these was the Mackay Commission of 1886-1887, which found that Ngāi Tahu as an iwi and its members had been left without a sufficient land base. 2 In 1892, the Crown agreed to make certain lands available to South Island landless Māori. 3 Judge Mackay and Percy Smith, the Surveyor-General, compiled a list of landless Māori in the South Island and assigned sections of land to them, assisted by Tame Parata. 4 By 1905, 142,463 acres had been allocated to 4,064 people. 5...

He was appointed as a Native Land Court Judge on 3 February 1919. He entered practice in 1905, only 8 years after Victoria University was established, so it seems a fair bet that he was our first judge to attend VUW.
On 30 October 2015 we turned 150 and to mark that milestone we produced a publication called ‘He Pou Herenga Tangata, He Pou Herenga Whenua, He Pou Whare Kōrero – 150 Years of the Māori Land Court’ Our publication provides a detailed history of the origins of the Native Land Court and looks at the role of the Court over its 150 year history.
This application form has been modified specifically for use in determining the successors for South Island Landless Natives
(SILNA) Lands in accordance with Part 15 of the Ngāi Tahu Deed of Settlement.
As additional decisions are added, users will
also be able to track cases as they progress through
appellate review, ensuring continuity and trans-
parency across judicial processes.
All reserved decisions of the MLC and MAC
- excluding oral judgments delivered in court - are
now routinely published.
