In such circumstances it may be worth applying to Court to see whether the trustees can grant leases or licences for a term exceeding seven years, with rights of renewal for one or more terms, which may exceed 14 years in total. Until such an application is made there is no guarantee as to how the Court would view the matter and the success of any such application would depend on its own facts.
Our team committed many hours of overtime to entering new applications into Pātaka Whenua and progressing applications towards resolution.
