Because the work of the Māori Land Court is highly regulated by the governing legislation and rules of the Court, private mediators will need to be mindful that many settlement agreements will need formal orders of the Court. For example, a private mediation appointed by consent under the Act, cannot create an outcome whereby the parties have agreed to a change of status from Māori Land to General Land in their mediated agreement and expect that to be rubber stamped by the Court.
In 2005 the Government provided over $30 million over a five year period to fund the Māori Freehold Land Project in a joint venture between the Māori Land Court, LINZ, the Ministry of Justice and TPK to ensure the registration of all Māori freehold land titles and orders with LINZ. This project was completed in March 2010.
