The Wellington Māori Land Court is closed due to earlier building-related issues including water damage and a temporary loss of internet and power. Services have now been restored and we will reopen tomorrow, 14 April from 10am.
If the Court considers that the order should be
completed without delay/issued without the appeal
period, the Court will declare the order to be
"completed without delay" and then the order can
be released immediately (Rule 7.5(2)(b) of the
Māori Land Court Rules 2011)

For present purposes, it has been said that tikanga is constitutionally significant to the development of
the law in four mutually reinforcing respects:
(a) First, as an independent source of rights and obligations in te ao Māori and the first law
of Aotearoa.43
(b) Second, in terms of the Treaty rights and obligations that pertain to tikanga.
Instead, the key test is quite appropriately that there is no “meritorious
objection” to the formation of the trust (s 215(4)(b)). The drafters of the Act clearly
understood the dynamics of Māori land and Māori land owners.
