Special Court Sitting
The following special sitt...
The court order
The court order is the document that confirms the legal change made to the ownership and/or status of the whenua. The court order also informs the information we provide to Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) to ensure the changes in legal ownership are updated in their database.
This schedule does not include applications that have been set down for hearing, are before the Court
for determination, have been determined by the Court and/or are awaiting release of any decision,
determination or order of the Court.

Kaupapa:
Ownership, Succession and Whānau Trusts
Pātaka Whenua: Searching the Record
Registration is required as space is limited.
The main priorities for the Court now are first, to remedy errors in the lists, using s 86 of TTWMA, and second, to update the list of successors based on previous and new evidence, the latter of which requires hearings to be held so evidence can be heard. An application form based on the existing form for successions has been modified for the purposes of SILNA determinations, and individual applications are linked to a central file to ensure consistency.
