The Māori Land Court In 2003, the Minister of Māori Affairs applied to the Māori Land Court for an inquiry pursuant to s 29 TTWMA as to successors to the four remaining SILNA blocks.

impediments in the Act to the engaged owners utilising their land, and that a remedy
is therefore needed.
If there is no
