Appealing Māori Land Court decisions about access
• A person may appeal to the Māori Appellate Court
on a question of law in relation to a decision of the
Māori Land Court made under section 170.
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).
The project was a joint one involving the Māori Land Court administration, LINZ and a sector sometimes forgotten in the literature on the project, the Māori Land Court judiciary.
