I look forward to us formally welcoming Judge Thomas as she begins her new journey as a part of the Māori Land Court bench. Kua piki te manu ki te rangi, heoi anō tā tātau, te titiro pewhea tōna rere.
HE KUPU WHAKATŪPATO As part of our responsibility to care and protect the court record, and because much of that record is old and sometimes fragile, it is not always possible to view the physical record.
(f) The mediation (regardless of whether the mediator is appointed by the parties
or the Court) will be held in accordance with the Māori Land Court mediation
process, rules and/or protocols as set out in Part 3A of the Act and by any
specific rules of the Māori Land Court for conducting mediations.
The court order becomes a part of the court record. We recommend that you keep these documents in a safe place, as they will help you decide what steps to take going forward.
This service is voluntary, so everyone involved in the dispute must all agree to take part. In this context, tikanga-based means that the process is guided by your values, beliefs and practices as a whānau or hapū.
