Te Kooti Whenua Māori – Māori Land Court
You do not need to register in Pātaka Whenua to be able to access information or make an application or enquiry.
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. During the Level 4 lockdown, like the rest of New Zealanders, all Māori Land Court staff were required to work from home.
What must also be borne in mind, however, is that ever since the whole concept of individualisation was originally imposed over Maori concepts of ownership, the necessary resourcing to keep lists of owners up to date has generally been inadequate. Added to that fact is the reality according to modern demographers that a large percentage of the Māori population is on the move.

Given the potential for the report to
influence the development of Government policy in relation to the Act it deserves
timely and robust scrutiny.
Yet to date the report has not been the subject of any scrutiny of note in the public
arena.
