As the oldest court in Aotearoa New Zealand, the Māori Land Court has a complex history and has been affected by many shifts in legislation and policy.
It is the oldest
specialist court in New Zealand, and one that has
transformed itself over the course of its history.
This is a history which is important to the social
and economic fabric of New Zealand’s society,
and equally to New Zealand’s legal history.

A particular criticism concerns the notion of individualisation, a matter that has resonated across three centuries. The early history of individualisation leading to land dispossession and alienation and the impact this system of tenure wrought on Māori society has been rehearsed time and time again before the Waitangi Tribunal.
Māori land is one of the most legislated
subjects in our parliamentary history. Understanding that history, and the
circumstances that led to the passing of the Act in 1993, is fundamental to any
review of the legislation.
