Te Ātiawa
Judge Sarah Reeves was appointed to the Māori Land Court on 10 December 2010.
I am the 114th Judge of the Maori Land Court. But, of course, I am not the first graduate from this university to be appointed to the Maori Land Court bench.
Where the relevant tikanga does not recognise a relationship
that entitles whāngai to succeed, the Māori Land Court may
issue a court order giving whāngai a lifetime right to receive
income or grants from the land or the right to occupy the
family home on the land, or both.
If an owner with Māori Land interests is deceased, and a succession has not previously been dealt with by the Court or a
Registrar, you can use this form to seek a determination from the Court as to those persons entitled to a deceased’s
Māori Land interests and an order transferring the interests to those entitled.
Use this form to apply to the Court for an order vesting part or all of any Māori Land or General Land owned by Māori
in an owner or a person entitled to succeed to an owner for the purpose of a house site or to confirm an existing house
site (including a house that has already been built and is located on the land).
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.
