We want to hear about your experience using Pātaka Whenua and your views on how it's working for you.
As a court of record, we are responsible for the accurate documentation of the succession and management of Māori land.
The way whenua was taken care of and how Māori lived on the land changed with the introduction of laws to allow for settler ownership.
Current practice notes include: Ngā whakahuatanga o ngā whakatau a te Kooti Whenua Māori me te Kooti Pīra Māori Citation of decisions of the Māori Land Court and Māori Appellate Court A guide to how decisions of the Māori Land Court and Māori Appellate Court should be cited.
The Māori Land Court bench have released a practice note for lending money on whenua Māori. Unlocking finance is an important part of facilitating the occupation, development, and utilisation of whenua Māori for the benefit of owners, their whānau, and their hapū and this practice note is another step on the road to realising this vision.
We know it takes time to complete a survey, but your thoughts will directly influence our efforts to provide a better service for all court users. We truly appreciate the gift of your time.
