As the first fully bilingual judgment issued in its history, it signals the enhancement of te reo Māori in the Court. This, at a time when the nation is celebrating the 50th year of the anniversary of the Māori language petition, the 40th anniversary of te kohanga reo and the 35th anniversary of te reo Māori becoming an official language of Aotearoa New Zealand.
An application was filed in the Court by Johnson Raumati, a
descendant of Mary Naera for a Judicial Conference under section 67 Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993.
The applicant filed the application to seek solutions to prevent the sale by Council and to secure the
future of the land for Mary’s whānau.

The mediation process
What if a resolution is not reached? Ko te whakapapa te ara ki o mātua tupuna
It is your connections to each other that keep you connected to your ancestors Dispute resolution service
Our dispute resolution service is a free, voluntary, tikanga-based process where parties can resolve disputes related to Māori land confidentially, outside of a court setting.
The practice note demystifies what can appear a complex subject, and support both whānau and lenders to improve access to finance for development activity on whenua Māori.
