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.

As
a result, Māori have the option to operate in one or other world, or to ‘walk in two worlds’.24
Mutual benefit - Acting in a manner that would enable Maori, despite settlement, not only to survive
but to progress because of it.25
Equity – Māori would be and are now entitled to peace and law and order.26
Equal treatment - Equal treatment by the law and by all government agencies27
Redress - Another overarching principle of the Treaty is that the Crown should remedy past breaches...
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.
