APPLICATIONS
Te Kooti Whenua Māori – Māori Land Court
For more information, go to maorilandcourt.govt.nz
Te Kooti Whenua Māori – Māori Land Court (MLC) is the
New Zealand Court that hears matters relating to Māori
land.
For example, one ahu whenua trust has over 8,000 beneficial owners for an area of land less than 200 hectares with income of less than $10,000.00 per annum.
Section 218 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 contains a list of Māori community purposes to which income may be ap-
plied if provision is made in the trust order.
This is
in case any appeal is lodged to contest the
decision made by the Judge.
The order will then be written up in the
Court title records if it affects land, and
will be sent to any party who has to act
on it, for example the Māori trustee if
the Māori trustee has been ordered to
pay money he/she is holding, or a Māori
incorporation if the order affects shares in
that incorporation.
See Part 12 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993.
2. The traditional Māori tribal hierarchy and social order made up of hapū (kin
groups) and whānau (family groups), having a founding ancestor and territorial
(tribal) boundaries.
