Practice notes are issued by our judges to guide legal practitioners through the process that must be followed.

Current practice notes include:

  • A guide to how decisions of the Māori Land Court and Māori Appellate Court should be cited.

  • A guide to the process by which parties to proceedings before the court may obtain information about the status of any reserved decision, and for information relating to outstanding judgments.

  • View the Special Aid Practice Note.

    Note: you must file invoices for payment to mlcspecialaidinvoice@justice.govt.nz.
