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.
After the judge, registrar, or mediator makes a decision, you will receive the court minutes and orders which will also be documented in the court record. If your application was for dispute resolution, only the order will become a part of the record.
To make sure that the minute is accurate, court hearings are recorded. To help us accurately record the kōrero, please move to the front of the court room when speaking and speak as clearly as possible.
However, the reality was that some of our Māori Land Court staff were ill-equipped to do this due to both a lack of resources, and a lack of access to court records.

The forms are available to print via the Māori Land Court website. A link to this is also provided in the banner shown above the selection box.

Changes also strengthen the protections for Māori land. For example, when whenua is changed from Māori customary land to Māori freehold land, the interests of the owners will not be individualised.
The judge may also order any person to provide copies of records, reports, and reasons for decisions related to the incorporation, and to assist the examining officers with their review.
