The Act now clarifies that Māori Land Court judges will follow
the tikanga of the hapū or iwi associated with the land being
succeeded to when deciding whether whāngai can succeed to
a land interest.
This means that in some cases whāngai may succeed to land
interests as if they were a birth child or grandchild of the
person who has passed.
They
can grant leases or licences for more than
seven years, with several rights of renewal,
if the purpose is for either education or
health. This means that if the purpose is
for education or health, the lease (including
renewals) could exceed 14 years

The name Te Puna Manawa Whenua can be translated to mean ‘the spring from deep underground.’ The imagery of a spring has been used to represent the wealth of knowledge regarding the law that has been pooled together in this bench book and that will be used to support both the land and the people who come to the Court.
For instance, an alienation includes the making or grant of any lease, licence, easement, mortgage or charge or any kind of encumbrance or trust in respect of the land in the reservation. This means that there can be no borrowing against the reservation lands and leaves trustees with problems as to how to raise money to maintain and preserve buildings, services, and the grounds and other facilities on the reservation.
