It advised the council that they were “in adverse
possession” of that land and recommended they seek clarification of the ownership of
the land from the MāoriLand Court.
A private Māori roadway on Māori freehold land can only become a public roadway if:
there’s enough support from the owners of that roadway for it to become public
the local council has agreed in writing to take over and maintain the roadway, and
compensation between the owners and council has been agreed and paid.
(e) If the parties cannot agree on a mediator, then one will be appointed by a Judge
of the MāoriLand Court in the district where the relevant land is located.
It would be interesting to see the response if our MāoriLand Court required the parties’ written submissions in upcoming cases to be uploaded to the Māoriland Court website prior to hearings.
