The court order
The court order is the document that confirms the legal change made to the ownership and/or status of the whenua. The court order also informs the information we provide to Toitū TeWhenua Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) to ensure the changes in legal ownership are updated in their database.

The purpose of the National Pänui / Te Pänui ä Motu
is to provide notice to interested parties of hearings
being conducted in, and applications received by, the
Mäori Land Court.
The appointment of Dr Ruakere Hond as a Pūkenga to assist the court, under s 32A of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, provided the level of care required in the matter and one the Court is extremely grateful for.
