The annual report reflects on what was an extremely busy year for the court. The judiciary and the staff of the seven Māori Land Court registries have been working hard to move through the backlog of cases before the Court, there have been new judicial appointments and a host of activity has been undertaken to improve the service provided to Māori landowners.

Unlocking finance is an important part of facilitating the occupation, development, and utilisation of whenua Māori for the benefit of owners, their whānau, and their hapū and this practice note is another step on the road to realising this vision.
