In assessing costs against a party in receipt of funding from the Special Aid Fund, the
Māori Appellate Court has stated:9
We consider that a grant of special aid is relevant to both stages of the inquiry on
costs, being whether costs should be awarded, and if so, in what amount. Given
the varied circumstances in which special aid may be granted, we do not consider
that an inflexible rule, or set of criteria, should be applied.
Highlights under each of our four strategic
objectives included:
Hei Kooti Māori
ӹ developed and implemented a Mahi tahi policy, a set of principles agreed on by the
judiciary and the Ministry of Justice to work jointly, as partners
ӹ developed a court-wide Te reo me ngā tikanga Māori strategy, to be implemented
between Matariki 2025 and Matariki 2026
Hei tāwharau i te pae tangata
ӹ developed and implemented Hauora Plans for each office to support the wellbeing

Prior to its integration into the Department for Courts
and Ministry of Justice, the Māori Land Court was
part of a section within the Department of Māori
Affairs (often referred to as the court section).
The annual report reflects on what was an extremely busy year for the court. The judiciary and the staff of the seven Māori Land Court registries have been working hard to move through the backlog of cases before the Court, there have been new judicial appointments and a host of activity has been undertaken to improve the service provided to Māori landowners.
