Easements
An easement is a special type of property right that allows access or use of a land block for a particular purpose, such as electricity or telephone services or access. Those requesting access do not have rights to the land itself, which is retained by the landowners.
You never rolled your eyes at my requests for help, you continued to listen, you continued to provide advice, you continued to offer words of encouragement and wisdom, and here we are, enjoying the fruits of your labour and the endless and all-embracing support you have shown me, with the knowledge that success is not the work of an individual but work of the many.

Making copies of the court recordRecords available for viewing
Most of the record is available to the public for viewing in hard copy.
Now, landowners seeking to form an incorporation need to
show there is a sufficient degree of support for the proposal,
and that sufficient notice of the proposal has been given.
Recording dividends
There is a new requirement on incorporations to record the
details of dividends paid to shareholders.
Publication of recordings in this manner “enables the public to view entire, unedited proceedings” and at the same time “enables the Court to retain control of the recordings”.
This brought the Māori Land Court record into the computer age with details of Māori land blocks and their owners being accessible nationwide, without owners having to travel to the Māori Land Court where the land was located to get information.
