Third The project confirmed why it is important for the Māori Land Court to continue its current role given its historical and particular expertise in the administration of titles. While the project also threw up issues for improvement, generally I think we can be satisfied that the Māori Land Court is the most appropriate mechanism for administering Maori Land titles, so long as every order is reflected in the LINZ system.
So we are dealing with multiple owners averaging 85 owners per title – the lowest 10% averaging 1 owner to each title, and the highest 10%, averaging 629 owners in each title.
