Proceedings on foot or not As noted above, one of the benefits of the proposed mediation process is that mediation is not only available where there are proceedings on foot, but also where there are no formal proceedings or applications before the Court. A simple application by the Registrar and the consent of the parties to the dispute is all that is required.

The main priorities for the Court now are first, to remedy errors in the lists, using s 86 of TTWMA, and second, to update the list of successors based on previous and new evidence, the latter of which requires hearings to be held so evidence can be heard. An application form based on the existing form for successions has been modified for the purposes of SILNA determinations, and individual applications are linked to a central file to ensure consistency.
Our kaimahi can answer pātai and provide printed application forms, ownership lists, and publicly available court records.
The Court agreed to a request by the applicants to appear, correspond, and be heard on the matter in te reo Māori.
