Our record holds information about court decisions, and the conversations about how those decisions are made. It also holds information about the whakapapa of landowners.
It is a good idea to ask them about:
What land blocks you might be an owner in
An accurate record of your whakapapa
How you became an owner or beneficiary to your whenua.
If you are a whānau or hapū member who did not submit the application but would like to speak in Court, you can file a ‘ Notice of intention to appear upon application ’. This lets us know how many people are planning to speak, although the final decision on who can speak will always be up to the judge.
In your application, you’ll need to provide:
evidence that those persons holding at least 10% of the shares in the incorporation seek an investigation or

any matters that should be brought to the immediate attention of a judge.
It is a great honour for me but what makes it so special is being able to share it with all of you so thank you. I also once again want to thank Ngāti Whakaue and Te Arawa whānui for the privilege of having this occasion in this beautiful, esteemed house.
Similarly, many
will hold shares in publicly listed companies. Generally, these interests will be such that
they are unlikely to be affected by a particular piece of litigation and they are commonly
disregarded.
The order will then be written up in the
Court title records if it affects land, and
will be sent to any party who has to act
on it, for example the Māori trustee if
the Māori trustee has been ordered to
pay money he/she is holding, or a Māori
incorporation if the order affects shares in
that incorporation.

The following relevant guiding principles apply to the use of the Special Aid Fund:2
4.1 The Māori Land Court Special Aid Fund is not a general legal aid fund.
4.2 The use of the word "special" in s 98 of the Act is a qualifying indicator of how the
fund is to be applied, and denotes something distinguished from others of its kind;
for a specific purpose; exceptional; particular.
4.3 Any applications for grants from the Special Aid Fund should where possible be
