This form may be used to apply to the Court to confirm one or more resolutions passed by owners in Māori Freehold
Land or General Land owned by Māori who together are members of the same family and who have taken the
opportunity to meet together following a family gathering (such as tangi, wedding or reunion).
The new mediation provisions give the Court and Māori land owners a grand opportunity to
define how we will resolve differences for the benefit of whānau, hapū and iwi.
