The Court has now directed that a hui of the descendants be called as follows:
• To discuss and consider setting the land aside as a Māori Reservation, including:
o a reservation name and purpose
o for whom reservation may be set aside
o trustees (meeting may elect trustees if a reservation is decided);
• The Court has appointed an independent facilitator for the hui.
Succession to Māori land interests can be complex for whānau
and for whāngai, and Māori land is often owned by members
of different whānau (with different views on whāngai
succession).
