I am very pleased to announce the Minister for Māori development has confirmed the appointment of Alana Miriana Thomas as a permanent judge of the Māori Land Court. Judge Thomas is currently the Director at Kaupare Law and Consultancy and holds an LLB, BA from the University of Auckland.
Some examples of steps you may consider include:
continuing with a current application in the Māori Land Court
submitting a further application to the Māori Land Court
seeking advice or continuing with further mediation outside of the Māori Land Court
investigating further options if you’re not satisfied with the outcome of mediation.
She also acted as legal counsel for Treaty claimants and Māori land clients. She holds a LLM from Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington, and in 2023 received her PhD at Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi for her thesis "Ko te mana te utu: Narratives of sovereignty, law, and tribal citizenship in the Pōtikirua ki te Toka-a-Taiau District".
