Judge Sarah Reeves was appointed to the Māori Land Court on 10 December 2010.
Te Puna Manawa Whenua is written by Māori Land Court judges. It is overseen by a judicial editing komiti, comprised of Māori Land Court judges, supported by legal research counsel from the Māori Land Court.
As a result of the project, registration of 97% of the 27,411 Māori land titles was completed. It has required hundreds of hours of human resource time, with a large percentage of that time derived from the Maori Land Court judges.
As a result, from time to time the Māori Land Court receives applications to extend existing urupā, or to set aside Māori freehold land, or sometimes General land owned by Māori, as new urupā reservations.
