Manatōpū MāoriMāori incorporation
A Māori incorporation has a structure like a company and can be set up over any Māoriland.
Some examples of steps you may consider include:
continuing with a current application in the MāoriLand Court
submitting a further application to the MāoriLand Court
seeking advice or continuing with further mediation outside of the MāoriLand Court
investigating further options if you’re not satisfied with the outcome of mediation.
If you have a current application in the MāoriLand Court that is being delayed by a dispute, you can ask for your application to be put on hold while you attempt to settle the dispute outside of court.
