In recognition of the principles of the Act that land is taonga tuku iho, of special significance, and to promote the retention of the land in the hands of its owners and their whānau and hapū, the judges usually require that an owner wishing to gift or sell an interest first consult with their children and whānau.

Following the Government’s decision last week to remove the remaining COVID-19 restrictions, the judiciary, informed by public health advice, reviewed the court operating protocols. Public health advice recommends that people isolate for five days if they have COVID-19 and that masks remain a useful tool to prevent the spread of respiratory viruses.
If there is a disagreement about access to the land, there are provisions for an internal review, and for the water service provider or the landowner to appeal to the Māori Land Court.
It will be regularly reviewed and updated as the law evolves. While every effort has been made to ensure its accuracy, no assurances can be given.
