Te Kooti Whenua Māori – MāoriLand Court (MLC) is the
New Zealand Court that hears matters relating toMāoriland.
For example, a private mediation appointed
by consent under the Act, cannot create an outcome whereby the parties have agreed to a
change of status from MāoriLandtoGeneralLand in their mediated agreement and expect
that to be rubber stamped by the Court.
Any final terms of trust are subject to confirmation by the MāoriLand Court in accordance with
sections 219 or 244 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993.

In the English version, Māori are said to have ceded
the sovereignty of New Zealand to Britain; Māori give the Crown an exclusive right to buy lands they
wish to sell, and, in return, are guaranteed full rights of ownership of their lands, forests, fisheries and
other possessions; and Māori are given the rights and privileges of British subjects.
However, the trustees can decline such an information
request in some cases (for example, if the information is subject to
personal or commercial confidentiality).
