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.

PĀNUI
The main priorities for the Court now are first, to remedy errors in the lists, using s 86 of TTWMA, and second, to update the list of successors based on previous and new evidence, the latter of which requires hearings to be held so evidence can be heard. An application form based on the existing form for successions has been modified for the purposes of SILNA determinations, and individual applications are linked to a central file to ensure consistency.
