Te Whakahou Taitara koia nei tētahi o ngā
kohinga pukapuka pānui a te Kooti Whenua
Māori hei āwhina i te iwi Māori – me ētahi
atu iwi – ki te whai mōhiotanga mō ngā take
whenua Māori.
The Act now clarifies that Māori Land Court judges will follow
the tikanga of the hapū or iwi associated with the land being
succeeded to when deciding whether whāngai can succeed to
a land interest.
If your mediation is successful but the judge is not satisfied that the issues were resolved in accordance with the law and the relevant tikanga of your hapū or iwi, you may have to return to mediation to ensure we're meeting these requirements.
He mea nui kia wehe koe i te kōtitanga i runga i te tino mārama he aha te aha. He tuwhera ki te iwi whānui ngā kōtitanga Kooti Whenua Māori. Engari, mēnā kei te kōrerohia he take tapu, ka whakatau pea te kaiwhakawā kia aukatia atu te iwi whānui mai i te kōtitanga.
