The application to the Court
The application was not contentious, however there were two issues for the Court to
determine:
(1) The area of land had no LINZ title, nor any current title in the Court’s records.
Apart from the general principles underlying the statute, and the general objectives that the Court must take account of, there is very little guidance in Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 as to the matters the Court should consider when deciding whether to set aside land as a new urupā.
When the High Court appoints a person to administer the estate of a deceased
person (generally where there is no will or if the will does not name an executor),
the Court’s authority for that person to act is given in a grant of letters of
administration.
