It was not until October 2010 that the final Court case was completed. By that time the various applications and Court cases had been running for over six years, until they were finally concluded in our favour.
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.
A brief statement as to the candidate’s strengths, qualifications, and experience showing his or her
