MĀORI LAND COURT SPECIAL AID PRACTICE NOTE
Aio ki te nuku aio ki te rangi ko te kawa ora ko te kawa ora tihei...
Aligning trust procedures to changes in
the Act
You should update your procedures as necessary to reflect the
changes to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993.
For example, you will need to be able to record that a
surviving spouse is entitled to income from a land interest that
they do not own, and that some owners are not entitled to the
income from their land interest.
Trustees are appointed by the Māori Land Court under the jurisdiction set out in s 222 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. In making appointments two crucial criteria must be considered.
In addition, while it remains important that kanohi-ki-te-kanohi justice is conducted in our courthouses, which play an important role as the local face of justice for our communities, we should endeavour to use alternative measures such as telephone conferencing, zoom and or AVL if this is more suitable to Māori land owners and ultimately assists Māori land owners’ access to justice.
