During the holiday period, Māori Land Court offices will be closed from 3pm, Wednesday 24 December 2025 and will reopen 10am, Monday 5 January 2026.
A national service for only urgent injunction applications is available Monday 29, Tuesday 30 and Wednesday 31 December. More details can be found here.
Due to limited access to the building, the Auckland Information Office is available by appointment only. Please contact us by email at mlctamakimakaurau@justice.govt.nz
If it is and no one objects to your
application, it can be decided by a registrar. If you would
prefer your application to be heard by a judge in court, you
can indicate this on the application form.
Applications are grouped by District and include the application reference number, the date on which
the application was received by the Court, the subject of the application, the authority under which
the application is made and the applicant(s).
The judge should ensure that the minute contains sufficient information, without
unnecessary detail, to enable the parties to decide whether to make a recusal
application. It is undesirable for parties to be placed in the position of having to seek
further information from the judge.
