Assets the Māori Land Court deals with
In most cases, the MLC can make succession orders for:
• any interest in Māori land
• any freehold interest owned by a Māori in general land⁷
(but only on application by a personal representative⁸
appointed by the High Court)
• any leasehold interest in a registered cross lease⁹ over
Māori land

Background to the review
The Panel’s appointment in June 2012 was preceded by two earlier reports released
in 2011: Owner Aspirations Regarding the Utilisation of Māori Land, Te Puni Kokiri
(2011), and Māori Agribusiness in New Zealand: A Study of the MāoriFreehold Land
Resource, Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (2011).
Pūtea trusts allow the Court on application by an interested party, to vest the uneconomic
interests of one or more owners of Māori land into a single entity.
