Disclosure of any matter which might give rise to objection should be undertaken even if
the judge has formed the view that there is no basis for recusal.
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.
You can appeal a Māori Land Court decision about access to the Māori Appellate Court by filing in a notice of appeal form (Form 13) stating the appeal is made under section 171 of the Local Government (Water Services) Act 2025.
