Te tūhonotanga o te tangata ki tōna whenua
Connecting whānau to the whenua

Chief Judge Fox announces the appointment of a Deputy Chief Judge and a new Judge to our Court, as confirmed by Minister for Māori Development Tama Potaka.

The Māori Land Court bench have released a practice note for lending money on whenua Māori. Unlocking finance is an important part of facilitating the occupation, development, and utilisation of whenua Māori for the benefit of owners, their whānau, and their hapū and this practice note is another step on the road to realising this vision.

Chief Judge Caren Fox and Pae Matua Steve Gunson are very happy to release the first Māori Land Court and Māori Appellate Court Annual Report, covering the period from Matariki 2022 – Matariki 2023.
