The judiciary and the staff of the seven Māori Land Court registries have been working hard to move through the backlog of cases before the Court, there have been new judicial appointments and a host of activity has been undertaken to improve the service provided to Māori landowners.
Paneke are an opportunity for court users based in smaller towns and centres to meet with our kaimahi and kōrero about:
completing application forms
submitting an enquiry
searching the court record
updates on current applications and enquiries
updating information in Pātaka Whenua
other services normally available at a Māori Land Court office.
To request an appointment at an upcoming paneke, submit an enquiry through Pātaka Whenua or contact your nearest office.
By directions dated 19 August 2026 I directed the Registrar to make arrangements for
the appointment of Mr Glen Tootill as counsel for the estate of Trevor Kupe Treanor
(544 Aotea MB 11-12).
