In 2003, realising that there was only one uncle and one aunty still alive, something needed to be done. After Part 4 searches had been carried out at the Māori Land Court I learnt that in 1967 an uncle of mine had appeared at the Māori Land Court and had succeeded to some interests in the name of his mother and father (my grandparents).
A judge is not required to recuse him or herself merely because the issues
involved in a case are in some indirect way related to the judge’s personal
experience or that the judge has previously dealt with the case.
4. The making of a complaint to the Judicial Conduct Commissioner against a judge
does not of itself serve to disqualify the judge from hearing cases involving the

When the High Court appoints a person to administer the estate of a deceased
person (generally where there is no will or if the will does not name an executor),
the Court’s authority for that person to act is given in a grant of letters of
administration.
4. To postpone a court sitting, or any meeting, to another date and/or location
A subtribe or kin group that is linked by a common ancestor.
4. Land (other than Māori customary land and Crown land reserved for Māori)
that has not been alienated from the Crown for a subsisting estate in fee simple.

At the end of the hearing the Judge may do
one of several things:
• make the order you were seeking
• adjourn the hearing to another date,
and possibly another venue, if more

• “reserve” the decision (ie put the
matter aside to be considered further
by the Judge and for a written decision
to be issued at a later date)
• dismiss the application if the Judge is
not prepared to make the order you
were seeking.
