Historically, most succession applications were heard by a Māori Land Court judge. Now, if your succession application is assessed to be ‘simple and uncontested’, then it can be decided by a Māori Land Court registrar without a court sitting (unless you request to be heard by a judge in a court sitting).
If there is sufficient evidence produced to satisfy the Court of the case against you, judgment against you may be given in your absence.
