Pātaka Whenua is the final deliverable of the Whenua Māori Programme, a joint initiative between the Ministry of Justice and Te Puni Kōkiri. To date, the programme delivered business transformation for the Māori Land Court, including legislative changes, a new operating model, and streamlined business processes.
We'll send you a copy of your court order two months after the date of the court hearing. This timeframe is part of the legal process to ensure you have enough time to appeal the decision if you don't agree with the outcome.
This application must be lodged within one month of the date of the interim or preliminary decision.
In your application you will need to include:
detailed evidence to support your appeal
any outcomes you are seeking as a result of the appeal
contact information for any person who may be affected, including those persons who will be affected if your appeal is successful (the respondents)
The filing fee for this application is $399.
