The court minute
The court order
Claiming money owed to you The court minute
The court minute documents the kōrero from the court hearing, the information you provided in your application, the research completed by our court staff, and the decision made by the judge or registrar.
After 18 months of hearings in Rotorua, 15 applications concerning the administration and utilisation of Utuhina No.3H No’s 2 & 3 Subdivision F will shortly be completed.
Accordingly, the report’s recommendation is simply unnecessary and of very limited
application.
Proposition 3: Māori land should have effective, fit for purpose governance
The report makes two recommendations in relation to proposition 3.
The judge should ensure that the minute contains sufficient information, without
unnecessary detail, to enable the parties to decide whether to make a recusal

further information from the judge.
One means of exploring a candidate’s ability to comply with s 222 is to require nominees to submit resumes with their application and for the Court to then pose questions to candidates for appointment that might include their knowledge of accounts and financial reporting, the trust order and general trust law principles, farming, forestry, tourism, geothermal power, property investment, equities and communications.
