I have chosen to use the first edition of the re-launched Judges Corner to set out some basic information about Māori freehold land in 2011, and the steps currently being taken by the Māori Land Court to ensure owners of this land have access to all necessary information in relation to this land in our mutual work to enable the retention and utilisation of their whenua.
The trustees were permitted to stand for re-election. For a number of reasons, including a failure to undertake registrations of beneficial owners present at the meeting, the Māori Land Court decided that the election results were unsafe and ordered a further meeting.
