This form may be used to apply to the Court to confirm one or more resolutions passed by owners in Māori Freehold Land or General Land owned by Māori who together are members of the same family and who have taken the opportunity to meet together following a family gathering (such as tangi, wedding or reunion).

I went on to discover however that at the time those succession applications were made, various Māori land interests had not been identified by the Court and were not included in the 1967 orders.
