Notification of Applications over 6 months old (5.11 Reports) Upcoming court hearings
Every month, each district holds court sittings in their local office and in at least one other location.
Court sittings are scheduled for the next available date at the court venue you have advised us you wish to have your application heard at.
You can also enquire about
attending one of our offsite clinics. See the back page of this
factsheet for the MLC office closest to you or go online to
maorilandcourt.govt.nz/contact-us
For information about the most common applications, go
online to maorilandcourt.govt.nz/apply
Another useful website is Māori Land Online, which has
details about the current ownership and title information¹ for
all MLC blocks.
The interests are not split between them – they are co-owners. If one owner dies, the other joint tenant(s) automatically succeed to the interest that the deceased joint tenant held.
If you didn’t change your username to a customised one, by default it would be the first part of your email (before the @ symbol), e.g. the default username for māorilandowner123@email.com would be māorilandowner123 .
Applicants will also need to demonstrate that they can manage a mediation process that is procedurally
and substantively tika and one which seeks to achieve the purposes of Part 3A (Dispute resolution) of Te
Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993.
