If an owner of Māori freehold land with many owners has paid more than their share of water services charges, they can apply to the Māori Land Court for a ‘charging order’ under section 99 to recover the excess amount paid.
Chief Judge Dr Caren Fox expressed her excitement sharing this resource, stating that it captures a wealth of knowledge about the law relevant to the Court and its jurisdiction.

However, because I became a Judge only a matter of weeks ago, I do not yet have many stories to share with you about my new job. Unfortunately, that means part of this speech will have to be about me, so I also want to talk about my time here at this whare wananga and some personal learnings through my career that I hope will be useful as you all embark on yours.
In your application, you’ll need to provide:
evidence that those persons holding at least 10% of the shares in the incorporation seek an investigation or
evidence that a special resolution was passed at a general meeting of the shareholders seeking an investigation
the grounds upon which an investigation is sought, and
any matters that should be brought to the immediate attention of a judge.
It is a great honour for me but what makes it so special is being able to share it with all of you so thank you. I also once again want to thank Ngāti Whakaue and Te Arawa whānui for the privilege of having this occasion in this beautiful, esteemed house.
