Māori Land Court | Judge’s Corner
Judge Aidan Warren
Dispute Resolution
February 2022

contribution to the Judges’ Corner relates to one of the new tools added to our kete by the
legislative changes that came into effect in February this year.
There is the ability to appoint a mediator beyond that list if the parties consider that it is justified in the circumstances and the appointment is approved by the Chief Executive and the Judge or Registrar who referred the matter to a mediator.
