This applicationform has been modified specifically for use in determining the successors for South Island Landless
Natives (SILNA) lands in accordance with Part 15 of the Ngāi Tahu Deed of Settlement.
Before applying to the Māori Land Court for an occupation
order, you will need consent from the other owners of the
land, and if applicable, from trustees or the management
committee of the Māori incorporation over the land.
Applications are grouped by District and include the application reference number, the date on which
the application was received by the Court, the subject of the application, the authority under which
the application is made and the applicant(s).
This certification should be filed with an application for succession (when grant of administration held) on form 21,
and replaces Schedule 1 of that form.
