APPLICATION FEE
Due to the nature of these applications, and in terms of the Court’s inquiry under section 29 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 and
also in recognition of the provisions of Part 15 of the Ngāi Tahu Deed of Settlement, the Registrar for Te Waipounamu District
has approved a waiver of filing fees for applications filed on this form.
But this was understood at the time to be
temporary. The applicants said that they had
‘agreed to dispose of this land to the Pakehas’
and a few days later the block was reallocated
by the Court to ten named owners.
Applications are grouped by District and include the application reference number, the date on which
the application was filed, the subject of the application, the section of the Act under which the
application is made and the name of the applicant(s).
The Māori Land Court is conducting an inquiry to establish the successors to SILNA lands pursuant to Section 29, Te
Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 in accordance with an application filled by the Minister of Māori Affairs, currently under
application A20180009373.
The Court may, on considering your notification, arrange for the application to be set down for a formal hearing
if the application has yet to be determined or for a rehearing if the application has already been determined.
