TRUSTEE MEETINGS
18.1 The number of Trustees required to attend a trustee meeting in order to conduct the
business of that meeting (“Quorum”) is a majority in number of the Trustees appointed
by the Court.
During the Māori Freehold Land Registration Project, the Court came across a number of instances of this kind. In a small number of cases with the consent of the owners of the land the Court was able to formalise the situation.
