In recognition of the principles of the Act that land is taonga
tuku iho, of special significance, and to promote the retention
of the land in the hands of its owners and their whānau and
hapū, the judges usually require that an owner wishing to gift
or sell an interest first consult with their children and whānau.
If there is no
quorum, the meeting may not proceed.
