For some applications, landowners will need to notify other owners of their application to the Court ahead of time so they can attend hui, support the application, make a payment offer, or object to the application.
Alongside these changes, we face an increase in applications, COVID-19 impacts, and higher-than-normal staff turnover, which has slowed down our response times to enquiries and the processing of your applications.
If you have a current application in the Māori Land Court that is being delayed by a dispute, you can ask for your application to be put on hold while you go through the dispute resolution process.
