WHAT IS THIS FORM FOR?
Updated interim list of owners of the Toitoi SILNA Block Crown Land Block VIII Lords
River Survey District (South Island Landless Natives Act 1906)
The Māori Land Court has released an updated working list of potential owners entitled to
the Toitoi Land (Crown Land Block VIII Lords River Survey District) under Section 15 of
Ngāi Tahu Deed of Settlement 1997.
(See Saxmere Company Ltd v Wool Board
Disestablishment Company Ltd [2009] NZSC 72, [2010] 1 NZLR 35; Saxmere
Company Ltd v Wool Board Disestablishment Company Ltd (No 2) [2009] NZSC
122)
The question of recusal is for the judge hearing the case.
Some guidance on these issues was provided by the Court of Appeal’s recent decision in Clarke v Karaitiana . Clarke v Karaitiana [2011] NZCA 154 The Māori Land Court had ordered the Registrar to convene a meeting of owners of Tauhara Middle 15 to be held in September 2008 to elect trustees, having previously found that the then-trustees had committed breaches of trust sufficient to warrant removal.
