Try to speak with as many landowners and potential beneficiaries/shareholders as possible, as your proposal is more likely to succeed where whanau with interests in the whenua are informed and involved prior to an application to the Court being submitted. If you don’t have these conversations, whānau who were not informed could object to your application in court.
After the judge, registrar, or mediator makes a decision, you will receive the courtminutes and orders which will also be documented in the court record.

And it is not a new
phenomenon. Native Land Courtminutes from the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries often noted that within a few years of title having been
determined, there were difficulties in engaging with the majority of owners.
Notice of the application to the High Court
or the Family Court should be filed with
the Māori Land Court so that it will not
inadvertently make any orders before the
High Court or the Family Court has dealt
with the matter.
