Te Puna Manawa Whenua is written by Māori Land Court judges. It is overseen by a judicial editing komiti, comprised of Māori Land Court judges, supported by legal research counsel from the Māori Land Court.
I am the 114th Judge of the Maori Land Court. But, of course, I am not the first graduate from this university to be appointed to the Maori Land Court bench.
Where the relevant tikanga does not recognise a relationship
that entitles whāngai to succeed, the Māori Land Court may
issue a court order giving whāngai a lifetime right to receive
income or grants from the land or the right to occupy the
family home on the land, or both.

In August 2020, the Government passed targeted
changes to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 to simplify
the legal processes for owning, occupying and using
Māori land.
What has changed?
Succession is the legal transfer of interests or shares in Māori
landfrom a person who has passed away to the people who
are legally entitled to own those interests.
The Māori Land Court is conducting an
inquiry to establish the successors to SILNA lands pursuant to Section 29, Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 in accordance
with an application filled by the Minister of Māori Affairs, currently under application A20180009373.
