Of the appointment, the Chief Justice said:
“The role that Judge Fox now assumes as Chief Judge of the Māori LandCourt is
a role of great responsibility. The Māori LandCourt is one of the oldest courts in
New Zealand and the work it does is central to the fabric of the Māori
community, and the Māori economy.”
Where the relevant tikanga does not recognise a relationship
that entitles whāngai to succeed, the Māori LandCourt may
issue a court order giving whāngai a lifetime right to receive
income or grants from the land or the right to occupy the
family home on the land, or both.
