The main priorities for the Court now are first, to remedy errors in the lists, using s 86 of TTWMA, and second, to update the list of successors based on previous and new evidence, the latter of which requires hearings to be held so evidence can be heard. An application form based on the existing form for successions has been modified for the purposes of SILNA determinations, and individual applications are linked to a central file to ensure consistency.
If you wish to seek approval as a mediator for Te Ratonga Whakatau Wenerau, please complete the following application form. You can also read more about the opportunity in the information booklet.
