She was sworn in as the Chief Judge of the MāoriLand Court in August 2023. Her appointment to this role marks the first time since 1865 that a woman has led the MāoriLand Court bench.
Now, landowners and other court users can choose to resolve
disputes related to Māoriland through a free tikanga-based
dispute resolution service provided by the MāoriLand Court.
The new Mediation regime establishes a dispute resolution process based on tikanga Māori
to assist owners of MāoriLand to resolve disagreements and conflict about their land.
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).
