That invitation is not made by an order of the Court but by the hope for parties to move forward and strengthen the relationships and kinship ties of the whānau involved. This judgment is a significant milestone in the Māori Land Court and for Māori landowners.
Disputes can delay whānau connecting to and using whenua. Whānau who agree to enter mediation to resolve disputes can do so out of court, pay no filing fee and can practice the tikanga of your whānau and hapū in that mediation.
Before you submit an application to the Court, make sure you have had a kōrero with your whānau. Kaitiaki whenua (land guardianship) is about the collective and the wellbeing of whenua, whānau and whakapapa.
It can help to mend fractured relationships and address some of the maemae associated with whānau relationships. A mediator will be there to support everyone, including you and your whānau, and to provide an impartial view when addressing issues.
One title would represent the totality of the shares currently held by the Seymour whanau (32.21252 shares) to be vested in (Phillip Douglas Seymour, Pauline Ruth McKay, Selwyn Gerald Martin Seymour, Edward James Seymour, and Caroline Ngawaiata Rowena Power) as to their respective shares, with the other title vested in the owners, being the whanāu of Tame Horomona Rehe.
The practice note demystifies what can appear a complex subject, and support both whānau and lenders to improve access to finance for development activity on whenua Māori.
Succession to Māori land interests can be complex for whānau
and for whāngai, and Māori land is often owned by members
of different whānau (with different views on whāngai
succession).
