MĀORI LAND COURT CONTACT DETAILS

SCHEDULE 1: MATTERS THAT MAY BE DEALT WITH BY ASSEMBLED OWNERS
Section 172, Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993:
The assembled owners of any land may consider, and, where appropriate, pass resolutions concerning, any 1 or more of the following matters:
(a) a proposal that th...
(2) The following matters must be set out in the application:
(a) in respect of the order or certificate of confirmation that is the subject of the application,—
(i) the date of the order or certificate; and
(ii) a description of the land affected; and
(iii) the names of the owners affected or, in the case of succession, the name of the deceased:
(b) in respect of the mistake or omission sought to be corrected,—
(i) a statement of the nature of the mistake or omission, who made it,...
For
instance, they may own block A and also have an interest in
block B. With the consent of the other owners of both blocks,
and by making an application to the MLC for a combined
partition, the interests could be combined to create the new
block Z.
I have advised the owners:
(a) That an occupation order may pass by succession; YES NO; and
(b) that an occupation order may be for a definite term
or until a specified event;
YES NO; and
(c) of the term for which the order is sought; YES NO
6.
The Māori Land Court’s role is to identify all successors and their relative beneficial interests by identifying all persons entitled to succeed to the interest of an original beneficiary in SILNA lands: (a) As though the land was Māori freehold land; and (b) As though the deceased person died intestate (applying the principles of s 109 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 (TTWMA)).
For example, conflicts of interest might be relevant or the need to obtain a suitable spread of skills amongst the trustees;
if the Court is not minded to appoint the leading candidates through an election it must still be satisfied that the requirements of s 222(2)(b) are met;
the discretion to appoint is not broad and unfettered.
Please note that section 150A of the Act (as
amended by section 24 of Te Ture Whenua
Māori Amendment Act No. 16 2002) requires
any lease for longer than 52 years to have
the consent of at least half the beneficial
owners of the land and the approval of the
Māori Land Court.
