HĀWEA/WĀNAKA SILNA WORKING LIST OF POTENTIAL OWNERS AS AT 9 SEPTEMBER 2021
The Māori Land Court has released an updated working list of potential owners entitled to the
Hāwea/Wānaka Substitute Land (Section 2 of 5 Block XIV Lower Wanaka Survey District)
under Section 15 of the 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.
This booklet summarises changes to
Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993
effective from 6 February 2021.
v
The Act:
• promotes the retention and use of Māori land
• facilitates the occupation, development and use
of that land
• ensures decisions made about Māori land are
fair and balanced, taking into account the needs
of all the owners and their beneficiaries.
However, a judge has control over
conduct in the court room and has wide statutory powers to protect the integrity of the process
and the rule of law. See Erceg v Erceg [2016] NZSC 135, [2017] 1 NZLR 310 at [2], where
the Supreme Court emphasised the constitutional significance of open justice and media
reporting of court proceedings.
