Our key purpose is to promote the retention of Māori land in Māori hands, and to support landowners to use, occupy and develop their whenua for the benefit of all landowners, and their whānau and hapū.
Although written for judges, its public release promotes transparency in the justice system, assists Māori landowners and their advisors, and supports educational purposes.

It is good to kōrero with whānau about whāngai succession
before applying to succeed to a deceased landowner’s
interests. Make the outcome of those conversations known
when making your application.
This judgment is a significant milestone in the Māori Land Court and for Māori landowners. As the first fully bilingual judgment issued in its history, it signals the enhancement of te reo Māori in the Court.
Occupation orders can
now be granted not only to the landowner or any person
entitled to succeed to their interest, but also to beneficiaries
of the whānau trust that holds a beneficial interest in the
land.
TAKE NOTICE that Philip Seymour has made application to the Māori Land Court at Te Waipounamu for a meeting of assembled owners seeking a partition of the Otonga 3 block.
The block is situated on Rēkohu/Wharekauri/Chatham Islands.
