In addition, while it remains important that kanohi-ki-te-kanohi justice is conducted in our courthouses, which play an important role as the local face of justice for our communities, we should endeavour to use alternative measures such as telephone conferencing, zoom and or AVL if this is more suitable to Māori landowners and ultimately assists Māori landowners’ access to justice.
Māori landowners can use, develop, and manage their land and ensure benefits for all owners. An ahu whenua trust:
holds the trustees legally responsible for the management of the land, and
uses a Māori Land Court-approved trust order, which sets out the rights and responsibilities of the trustees and beneficial owners.
