Then lastly, the Court, of its own motion pursuant to section 37(3) of the Act makes a
further order as follows:
Pursuant to section 183(4) of the Act appointing Ropata Taylor and Ihaia Raharuhi as
interim agents for the purposes set out in section 183(6) on behalf of all the owners,
and in particular to negotiate with the Tasman District Council in respect of the council’s
occupation of the land.
• Any revenue from the lease or licence must be used as
directed by the MLC.
Section 150A of the Act (as amended by section 24 of
Te Ture Whenua Māori Amendment Act 2002) requires any
lease for longer than 52 years to have the consent of at least
half the beneficial owners of the land and the approval of the
MLC.
However, in terms of section 227(6) of the Act,
any trustee whose vote is recorded as against a decision
before it is implemented will not be personally liable.
