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.

Governance entities In the context in which I work, we have a range of governance entities, from trusts to incorporations, but no matter what the governance structure is - whether it is an ahu whenua trust, a whānau trust, a whenua tōpū trust, a pūtea trust, a kaitiaki trust, or an incorporation - key governance skills and capabilities are required.
Sixth The issue of locating owners was also highlighted by the project and basics such as requirements as to notice cannot be complied with because Court staff cannot access proper addresses for owners. Judges are forever hearing the criticism Deputy Chief Judge C L Fox from owners that they were not notified of a hearing or meeting affecting their land or their interests.
