The Court may prevent trespass or injury
to Māori land, prohibit dealings with property in proceedings, or require restoration — but is not limited to these

will assess the situation.
• Where the land is Māori-owned and the landowner
does not participate in the internal review, the water
service provider can appeal to the Māori Land Court
under section 118C(4)(b)
