Appeals about landlocked land will also be heard by the Māori Appellate Court rather than the High Court. To support how the Māori Land Court functions, judges will be able to appoint experts in tikanga Māori and whakapapa as additional members of the Court, and they can hold judicial settlement conferences to assist parties to a dispute to settle a claim or issue.
During the Māori Freehold Land Registration Project, the Court came across a number of instances of this kind.
Special fixtures are arranged and advertised in accordance with the provisions of the Mäori Land Court Rules and they may not necessarily be listed in this publication.
