This is the narrative of a piece of land in Te Tau Ihu – Aorere. It sets out how Judge Reeves dealt with an application for accretion and for determination of ownership, where ownership records had not been maintained for over 100 years.
The way whenua was taken care of and how Māori lived on the land changed with the introduction of laws to allow for settler ownership.
Since the establishment of the Native land Court 1865, we have collected and managed over 23 million documents, all of which are linked in some way to whenua and whānau Māori. Our record holds information about court decisions, and the conversations about how those decisions are made.
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.
Where a determination or order has already been made by a registrar, affected persons may also apply to the court to seek a review of that determination or order.
(iii) Where necessary, you must supply evidence to support your request, such as confirmation from Work and Income New Zealand as to your income.
