After Part 4 searches had been carried out at the Māori Land Court I learnt that in 1967 an uncle of mine had appeared at the Māori Land Court and had succeeded to some interests in the name of his mother and father (my grandparents).
She was sworn in as the Chief Judge of the Māori Land Court in August 2023. Her appointment to this role marks the first time since 1865 that a woman has led the Māori Land Court bench.
You can combine Māori land, general land, or both, regardless of size, shape, location, or status.

Now, landowners and other court users can choose to resolve disputes related to Māori land through a free tikanga-based dispute resolution service provided by the Māori Land Court.
