Prior to its integration into the Department for Courts
and Ministry of Justice, the Māori Land Court was
part of a section within the Department of Māori
Affairs (often referred to as the court section).
These were the years of the revolution, of the nation of contention, the people of protest, the crowd of combat who fought tirelessly for the survival of te iwi Māori.

Use this form to file an appeal against a final decision or determination of the Māori Land Court.
An appeal under Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 may only be lodged within 2 months from the date of the
decision or determination, unless accompanied by an application seeking leave to appeal out of time on Form 1.
However, the reality was that some of our Māori Land Court staff were ill-equipped to do this due to both a lack of resources, and a lack of access to court records.
The initial annual update for 2024 was produced by the Office of the
Chief Registrar, Māori Land Court, Ministry of Justice, Wellington, New Zealand on 30 June 2024.
