In the English version, Māori are said to have ceded
the sovereignty of New Zealand to Britain; Māori give the Crown an exclusive right to buy lands they
wish to sell, and, in return, are guaranteed full rights of ownership of their lands, forests, fisheries and
other possessions; and Māori are given the rights and privileges of British subjects.
Some Māori land titles have a majority of owners who cannot or will not succeed to
their ownership interest despite attempts to encourage them to succeed.
If an owner of Māori freehold land in multiple ownership has paid more than their share of water services changes, they can apply to the Māori Land Court for a “charging order” to recover the excess amount paid.
