Date instructions received.
If you are a whānau or hapū member who did not submit the application but would like to speak in Court, you can file a ‘ Notice of intention to appear upon application ’.
Currently under the Act it is not possible to appoint a trustee or trustees to administer
land in such circumstances because the Court is required to be satisfied that the
owners “have had sufficient notice of the application and sufficient opportunity to
discuss and consider it” per s 215(4)(a).
