Training for trustees Training for trustees is a significant issue for the Court. In many instances the Court must choose between appointing inexperienced trustees to manage land or making no appointments at all.
The rapid pace of Treaty settlements has created challenges for the Tribunal, and the number of the applications in the Māori Land Court continues to rise as well. Just before I wind up, I want to make a few brief comments about the Court and the Tribunal.
This direction is issued pursuant to rule 3.8(1)(b) Māori Land Court Rules 2011 and a
copy is to be sent to the Chief Judge, the Chief Registrar, and the Registrar of the
Waikato Maniapoto District Registry of the Court.
