Combined partition
an owner or a group of owners may benefit
by combining their interests, held in two
neighbouring blocks, into one block. For
1 The legal ownership of property and the legal
evidence of a person’s ownership rights.
2 The division of Māori land into two or more
separate titles (partition).

So we are dealing with multiple owners averaging 85 owners per title – the lowest 10% averaging 1 owner to each title, and the highest 10%, averaging 629 owners in each title.

For these reasons the Court will facilitate an application for an urupā reservation but will also make sure that the owners and trustees have also considered these difficult but not uncommon issues. 1 Otene – Tauhara Māori Reservation (1977) 58 Taupo MB 168 (58 TPO 168); Trustees of Waipahihi Reserve - Waipahihi Māori Reservation (1978) 59 Taupo MB 184 (59 TPO 184); and Pihema v Ngāti Whatua of Orakei Māori Trust Board – Section 722,790,792,793 and 794 Town of Orakei Blocks IX...
