Chief Judge Caren Fox and resident judges, Judge Wilson Isaac and Judge Nathan Milner, were joined by Chief District Court Judge Hemi Taumaunu, and other members of the Māori Land Court Bench for a special sitting that followed the opening ceremony.
To celebrate this significant occasion a special evening event was organised where women judges of the Māori Land Court and the District Court talked to Māori women practitioners about their career paths and how they became judges.
Such protection makes a great deal of sense because marae, meeting places and wāhi tapu are places of special significance to Māori communities, and naturally we do not want to treat such places as if they were simply saleable commodities.
In the interim, the judiciary will continue to have the discretion to set applications down for special hearings to progress the many applications that are waiting for resolution.
If you are applying for an exemption from providing a special valuation, you’ll need to complete a form 26 with your vesting order application and pay an additional fee of $23.
Many councils have also changed their rating policies to encourage those developments. What then, is so special about Utuhina? First, they have had tensions over many years, which have been the consequence of a long-term trust over multiply-owned Māori land, which have had to be heard in the High Court.
The Māori Land Court (Te Kooti Whenua Māori) is the
New Zealand court that hears matters relating to Māori
land. The special bond between Māori people and the
land is recognised by the Māori Land Court, and the
records held by this Court form an invaluable part of the
whakapapa of all Māori.
