Training programmes are currently run out of some Court district offices, although there is no overall consistency in the training offered, and the programmes vary in each region, which means that training is not available to all trustees, and where it is available, it may not be comprehensive.

Which Māori Land Court o�ce or team did you mostly engage with?

This was during the run up to the hand back of Hong Kong to the People’s Republic of China, and our job was to establish and administer trust structures to receive the assets of wealthy Chinese prior to their migration to either Canada or Australia.
