Māori Land Update
Block and trust information
Māori Incorporation Register Māori Land Update
Our Māori Land Update is released annually and provides:
the number of customary and freehold titles of Māori land
the number and types of management structures and the size of the land they are responsible for managing.
Māori Purposes Act 1991
The Māori Purposes Act 1991 has limited powers extended to the Court in relation to the Wi Pere Trust.
Māori Fisheries Act 2004
The Māori Fisheries Act 2004 enables a Judge of the Māori Land Court to give advice about or determine disputes regarding entitlements.
The changes to the existing Practice Note were made following a review undertaken by Judge
Warren, with helpful input from lawyers who regularly appear in our Court.
We trust that the new Practice Note provides greater clarity about the process and the criteria
Judges will follow when making decisions about appointments and the rates that may apply.
