You can submit your application online in Pātaka Whenua. You can download and edit these PDF forms for the MāoriLand Court and the Māori Appellate Court applications and email or mail them to us.
Some examples of steps you may consider include:
continuing with a current application in the MāoriLand Court
submitting a further application to the MāoriLand Court
seeking advice or continuing with further mediation outside of the MāoriLand Court
investigating further options if you’re not satisfied with the outcome of mediation.
Second, although those interests are small they have been able to link us back into the various communities which our grandparents and great-grandparents had ties to. The MāoriLand Court via its MāoriLandOnline website can now physically locate the blocks.
