The Māori Land Court ("Court") has constituted a whānau trust for the purposes set out in this Trust Order (“Order”).
That was not the case and Māori in the South Island were left without land and without sufficient resources to take care of themselves and their whānau.
The mediation conversations to settle the dispute are confidential to you and your whānau and the other parties involved. No record of these conversations will be publicly available on the Māori Land Court record.
Disputes can delay whānau connecting to and using whenua. Whānau who agree to enter mediation to resolve disputes can do so out of court, pay no filing fee and can practice the tikanga of your whānau and hapū in that mediation.
Occupying or building on Māori land is one of the most common uses and it enables whānau to connect with their whenua.
