Trustees are appointed by the Māori Land Court under the jurisdiction set out in s 222 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. In making appointments two crucial criteria must be considered.
Reviewing the Special Aid
system allowed us to ensure timely payments to Court
appointed professionals who provide essential services
to Māori landowners.
Because Māori land can have so many owners, creating a trust can be an efficient way to make decisions about the whenua. The members of the trust or 'trustees' are appointed to make decisions that protect the whenua and benefit all landowners, also known as 'beneficiaries' of the trust.
If you are interested in or affected by an application and wish to make representations on
the application, you must notify the Court in writing by 4 pm on the 1st of April 2023 and specify brief
details of your concerns.
At the end of the hearing the Judge may do
one of several things:
• make the order you were seeking
• adjourn the hearing to another date,
and possibly another venue, if more
information or evidence is needed
• “reserve” the decision (ie put the
matter aside to be considered further
by the Judge and for a written decision
to be issued at a later date)
• dismiss the application if the Judge is
not prepared to make the order you
were seeking.
