Te Kooti Whenua Māori – MāoriLand Court
For more information, go to maorilandcourt.govt.nz
Te Kooti Whenua Māori – MāoriLand Court (MLC) is the
New Zealand Court that hears matters relating to Māoriland.
Why make this change?
Succession to Māoriland interests can be complex for whānau
and for whāngai, and Māoriland is often owned by members
of different whānau (with different views on whāngai
succession).
Your application will be considered ‘uncontested’ when:
• it has been notified according to the MāoriLand Court
Rules; and
• it has been published in the MāoriLand Court’s National
Pānui; and
• no one has objected to the application.
All applications should be lodged with the Registrar in the District
in which some of all of the land is located
Fee: $23.00
If there is insufficient room on the form to provide the required infomation you should continue your application on a separate
sheet of paper
