Notification of applications that have not
been finally determined
(over 6 months old)
30 November 2022
TAKE NOTICE THAT the following schedule of applications are hereby notified pursuant to rule
5.
In 2003, realising that there was only one uncle and one aunty still alive, something needed to be done. After Part 4 searches had been carried out at the Māori Land Court I learnt that in 1967 an uncle of mine had appeared at the Māori Land Court and had succeeded to some interests in the name of his mother and father (my grandparents).
