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 Court may, if it cannot otherwise address those concerns, order that the application be reheard.

If there is sufficient evidence produced to satisfy the Court of the case against you, judgment against you may be given in your absence.
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.
