What the Māori Freehold Land Registration Project has done has been to provide an invaluable updated base of knowledge for a new generation of policy makers keen to review and improve the manner in which owners, their whanau or hapu hold title.
Where a determination or order has already been made by a registrar, affected persons may also apply to the court to seek a review of that determination or order. A review must be lodged within 20 working days after the determination or order is made or, at the satisfaction of a judge, within a longer period.

We await confirmation of the details and programme for the Government’s review of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act, and so now is not the time for comment from the judiciary.
The reform options proposed in the paper deal with every stage of the decision making process. The review also assesses how the primary legislation interfaces with other key statutes, and the respective roles central and local government and private groups should play in the provision and management of cemeteries.
Our rules and regulations The Māori Land Court Rules 2011 set out how we operate, including how we receive, review, notify, process, and conclude applications.
