SUBJEC...
After 18 months of hearings in Rotorua, 15 applications concerning the administration and utilisation of Utuhina No.3H No’s 2 & 3 Subdivision F will shortly be completed.
Unlike under the previous proposal, the mediator cannot adjudicate the dispute if it is not resolved through mediation. That is, there is no longer a decision-making role for the mediators.
So what realistically can be done to help with this problem – with the knowledge that Māori land is in multiple ownership, many of the owners are deceased and unsucceeded to, and many owners have no recorded addresses so are difficult to contact?
Unlike under the previous proposal, the mediator cannot adjudicate the dispute if it is not
resolved through mediation. That is, there is no longer a decision-making role for the
mediators.
Where a formal hearing will be held
The application is usually first advertised in
the District in which the land is situated but
can then, if requested by the applicant and
if there is no opposition expressed by other
interested parties, be adjourned to a usual
Court sitting near where the applicant lives.
The mediation conversations to settle the dispute are confidential to you and your whānau and the other parties involved. No record of these conversations will be publicly available on the Māori Land Court record.

The trustee can also be removed if they:
repeatedly refuses or fail to act as trustee
become an undischarged bankrupt
are a corporate trustee that is subject to an insolvency event, or
are no longer suitable to hold office as trustee because of their conduct or circumstances.
