This was briefly mentioned in Chief Judge Wilson Isaac’s contribution to this forum. Background Today, owners their whanau and hapu, the Māori Land Court staff and its judges have inherited a system of Māori land title that many have claimed to be inconsistent with Māori customary preferences.
Five out of the thirteen judges on the bench are women – Chief Judge Isaac has recently noted that such a gender balance does not exist on any other Court bench in New Zealand outside of the Supreme Court.
Chief Judge Wilson Isaac discusses Māori Land in today’s context, the steps being taken to ensure land owners have access to all necessary information that’s required.
