Mr Tootill is to attend the hearing
The application was subsequently set down for hearing as Special Panui 1 at Whangārei
on 3 September 2026 at 3:15 PM
Due to a change in the court’s scheduling, there is now a need to adjourn and reschedule
the application from hearing at 3:15 PM at Whangārei on 3 September 2026, to an earlier
hearing time of 2:00 PM at Whangārei on 3 September 2026.
The period covered has been one of change for the Court, with the introduction of the new Pātaka Whenua system to support Court kaimahi, judges and landowners.
To date, the programme delivered business transformation for the Māori Land Court, including legislative changes, a new operating model, and streamlined business processes.
After the court hearing, the judge can confirm, change, or cancel any previous decision.
This may not necessarily be heard by the same judge which made the original decision.
