Application: ACCEPTED / REFUSED
Dated: ..............................................................
The MLC operates under the provisions of Te Ture Whenua
Māori Act 1993 (‘the Act’).
Trustees1 are bound by Te Ture Whenua Māori Act and the
Trusts Act 2019.
In addition, there were requirements in Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993 and previous legislation for the transmittal of Māori Land Court orders as to title, which had not been consistently applied.
I have experienced those difficulties notwithstanding the fact that I was a practising lawyer and familiar with the workings of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act. The difficulty in forming a whānau trust multiplies with each generation that passes.
YES NO
If so, consents to the partition from the trustees; or the Chief Executive of Te Puni Kōkiri must be attached.
8. Is the land vested in a Māori Incorporation?
