Our Courts
The Māori Land Court operates over seven dis-
tricts across Aotearoa, with district offices located
from Whangārei in the north to Ōtautahi in the
south. In addition to these district offices, we have
an information office in Auckland and the Chief
Registrar’s Office in Wellington.
This working list is comprised of successors to the 50 original beneficiaries who were
allocated land between Lakes Hāwea and Wānaka (‘The Neck’) under the ‘SILNA’ scheme.
The South Island Landless Natives Act 1906 was repealed in 1909 without those 50 people
having received their SILNA land.
Judge Isaac has presided over the Mohaka ki Ahuriri Inquiry, the Northern South Island Inquiry and National Park District Inquiry, the Napier Hospital and Health Services Report Inquiries.
