Much like an amalgamation, the resulting shareholding is dependent on the: agreement or sufficient degree of support from the owners value of each block and shares (before aggregation), and new shareholding, based on the value of the pre-aggregation shares, in the new aggregation. Shareholders in the aggregated list will become shareholders in all land blocks included in the aggregation, so the value of shares in each pre-aggregated block is important.
Te reo Māori is recognised as a taonga and official language of New Zealand. Any person appearing in the Māori Land Court, or in any court in New Zealand, can speak or file written documents in te reo Māori as a right under the Māori Language Act 2016.
