Te Puna Manawa Whenua is written by MāoriLand Court judges. It is overseen by a judicial editing komiti, comprised of MāoriLand Court judges, supported by legal research counsel from the MāoriLand Court.
Some people become landowners when a whānau member transfers land to them by gift or sale. The MaoriLand Court will ‘vest’ the land interest by way of a vesting order.
The MāoriLand Court is one of the oldest courts in
New Zealand and the work it does is central to the fabric of the Māori
community, and the Māori economy.”
