We await confirmation of the details and programme for the Government’s review of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act, and so now is not the time for comment from the judiciary.
Where the default duties listed in Schedule 1 conflict with provisions made in Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993, the duty has been amended or expressly excluded.
Designation: .................................................... Act: Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 or ..................................................................................
Why make this change? Disputes about whenua Māori can be complex and difficult for whānau.
