The court minute
The court order
Claiming money owed to you The court minute
The court minute documents the kōrero from the court hearing, the information you provided in your application, the research completed by our court staff, and the decision made by the judge or registrar.
Ensure that your device is muted when you join the hearing, as you may join while another application is still being heard. Please wait until your application is announced to unmute yourself, confirm that you’re present, and let the court know if any other people are present with you.
The rapid pace of Treaty settlements has created challenges for the Tribunal, and the number of the applications in the Māori Land Court continues to rise as well.
