Inquiry about delayed judgments
If you are concerned about a delay in delivering a reserved judgment in the Māori Land
Court in a case in which you have an interest (or are the legal representative for
someone with an interest), an inquiry should be made to Chief Registrar.
The following details should be included in an inquiry:
1.
Prepare for court hearing
AP-20230000033547 11/10/2023 CJ 2023/76 - Subdivision No X of Native Reserve No 903 Waihao and a determination of ownership order made at 8 South Island MB 84-94 on
10/6/1887 - Application to the Chief Judge
45/93 Wendy Dayle McNaughton 5.
It sets out how Judge Reeves dealt with an application for accretion and for determination of ownership, where ownership records had not been maintained for over 100 years.
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.

It is good to kōrero with whānau about whāngai succession
before applying to succeed to a deceased landowner’s
interests.
Traditional whenua boundaries of hapū and whānau were changed and not all members were granted ownership. Individual land ownership made it easier for settlers to buy and sell land.
