Use of vesting orders
Except when Māori land 2 is vested 3 in a
Māori incorporation 4, Māori land shares can
only be transferred by a vesting order 5 made
by the Māori Land Court.
Committee members employed by
the incorporation – conflict of interest
A committee member may be employed
by, or make a contract 5 with, the Māori
incorporation. However, because of the
potential for a conflict of interest, Rule 24(2)
of the constitution does not allow that
committee member to take part in any of
the committee’s discussions or votes about
the business where the conflict exists.
