The benefits of an incorporation include:
the ability to establish and run commercial operations for maximum financial benefit to the shareholders
the application of a corporate model to the management of Māori land
autonomy from the normal Māori Land Court practices that apply to trusts, and
voting and resolutions by shareholders are based on the number of shares held, rather than the number of votes received.
If you are interested in, or affected by, one of these applications and wish to make
representations concerning the application, you must notify the Court in writing by 4pm on the 1st day of
February 2024, providing your name and address, telephone number, and email address, if any, and setting

A significant number of applications were adjourned during this period - in April alone approximately 500 cases were notified in the National Pānui, and subsequently adjourned under the Chief Judge’s protocol to be heard at a later date.
In Ellis
v R [2020] NZSC 89, submissions were sought on the application of tikanga on the question of whether the Court has
