The idea was that an individual or a whānau could consolidate their shares across a large area and in a large number of blocks with many owners, down into a particular piece of land that they would call their own.
Some administration of the whānau trust is required. An IRD number had to be obtained. We get a small amount of dividend payments each year and a tax return has to be prepared.
Within the Māori Land Court districts, average ownership numbers range from 51 owners per block in the Tākitimu district to 154 owners per block in the Waiariki district.
Conflicts of interest arise in a number of different situations. Judges should be alert to
any appearance of bias arising out of connections with litigants, witnesses or their legal
advisors, and should always inform the parties of facts that might reasonably give rise to
a perception of bias or conflict of interest.
If you are interested in, or affected by, one of these applications and wish to make
representations concerning the application, you must notify the Court in writing by 4pm on the 1st day of
May 2023 providing your name, address, telephone number and email address (if any) and setting out your
connection with the application and brief details of your concerns.
