Dispute resolution service
Effective from Waitangi Day, 6 February 2021
What do I need to do?
If you want to make an application to the Māori Land Court
or you have an application already in the Māori Land Court
that is being delayed by a dispute, you can apply to use the
dispute resolution service to attempt to settle the dispute
outside of a court sitting.

The challenge now is to develop a robust and consistent
framework, so that those owners of Māori Land who seek genuine resolution can use this
service and avoid determinations that result in a winner and loser.
To conclude, I quote from the learned Sir Ivor Richardson [former President of the Court of
Appeal] who noted that “It is not the absence of disputes that define a society or community
but rather the processes developed to resolve those disputes that does”.
