If someone had told me back when Boys II Men were number 1 that I would eventually become a Judge of the Maori Land Court, I would have laughed at them and told them to go to the “End of the Road” (or words to that effect).

It is a good idea to ask them about:

An accurate record of your whakapapa
How you became an owner or beneficiary to your whenua.

It would be interesting to see the response if our Māori Land Court required the parties’ written submissions in upcoming cases to be uploaded to the Māori land Court website prior to hearings.
