Judge Isaac attended representing the Chief Justice of Niue and Judge Coxhead attended representing the Chief Justice of the Cook Islands. Judge Armstrong attended the Law Association for Asia and the Pacific (LAWASIA) conference.
People on this list have been determined to be entitled successors to the original
beneficiaries of the land. If you or your whānau are on this list, please update your
contact details with us to receive communications regarding the block.
Judge Coxhead was appointed to the Māori Land Court in 2008 and is one of the resident judges in Waiariki, as well as a Presiding Officer in the Waitangi Tribunal, Chief Justice of the High Court of Niue and a Justice of the High Court of Cook Islands. Judge Coxhead’s 16 years of judicial service, and his extensive experience and knowledge of law and tikanga, will serve him well as he steps into his new position as Deputy Chief Judge.
Support was given for the formation of a whānautrust. An application to constitute a whānautrust was filed in 2004 and eventually heard in February of 2005.
