On 14 December 2022, the Māori Land Court issued its first fully bilingual judgment in both te reo Māori and English.
Access to Māori land was generally considered when the title of the land was originally issued and in many cases: a roadway would have been created to give access to the land there may have already been a public or private roadway servicing the land, or a right of way to access land, across a neighbouring property, may have been put in place.
