Developed by judges for judges and published by Te Kura Kaiwhakawā (Institute of Judicial Studies), the bench book offers guidance on what judges may need to know, understand, and do when hearing applications in the Māori Land Court (the Court). Although written for judges, its public release promotes transparency in the justice system, assists Māori landowners and their advisors, and supports educational purposes.
In Pātaka Whenua, you can find information about your whenua, search the court record, make an application or enquiry online and pay the application filing fee.
Pātaka Whenua gives you the ability to search and access Māori land information, submit an enquiry and file a Court application from anywhere at any time. For more information about Pātaka Whenua visit our Pātaka Whenua guidance page .
The judge should ensure that the minute contains sufficient information, without
unnecessary detail, to enable the parties to decide whether to make a recusal
application. It is undesirable for parties to be placed in the position of having to seek
further information from the judge.
Package information and the application form can be found on Te Puni Kōkiri’s website. ( Whenua Māori sediment and debris management package (tpk.govt.nz) )
