Māori Land Court | Judge’s Corner
Judge D J Ambler
Review of Te Ture Whenua Act 1993
Introduction
At the beginning of April this year the Associate Minister of Māori Affairs released the
Review Panel’s report into Te Ture Whenua MāoriAct 1993.
In July 2019, the Government passed the Trusts Act 2019
(replacing the Trustee Act 1956). This new Act sets out
the core principles and default rules for trusts, including
trusts created under Te Ture Whenua MāoriAct 1993.
The Māori Land Court’s role is to identify all successors and their relative beneficial interests by identifying all persons entitled to succeed to the interest of an original beneficiary in SILNA lands: (a) As though the land was Māori freehold land; and (b) As though the deceased person died intestate (applying the principles of s 109 of Te Ture Whenua MāoriAct 1993 (TTWMA)).
[full name(s)],
apply pursuant to section 113 of Te Ture Whenua MāoriAct 1993 (as provided for in Clause 15.6.2 of the Ngāi Tahu
Deed of Settlement and in accordance with the Court’s inquiry under section 29 of Te Ture Whenua MāoriAct 1993),
for determination of the successors to the deceased.
The MLC operates under the provisions of Te Ture Whenua
MāoriAct 1993 (‘the Act’).
Definition of succession
Māori land is owned by either one owner or several owners.
