Conflict of interest generally
Judges should recuse themselves wherever they have personal knowledge of disputed
facts in proceedings, or wherever they have a personal view concerning a party or
witness of disputed fact in the litigation.

Examples of what could be considered ‘simple’ trust matters
include:
• forming a whānau trust for a single owner’s interests or
shares; or
• terminating a kaitiaki trust for a minor when the person
reaches 20 years of age; or
• appointing a trustee to a whānau trust.

• who the trustees will be
• what land interests will be vested
