Description

"The complexities of Maori land law and land tenure have long been a problem of considerable difficulty. The author, who is a judge of the Maori Land Court, has now revised and considerably enlarged an earlier work to give, for the first time, detailed and comprehensive guidance on the subject ... The book opens with an informative chapter on the origin of the Maori Land Court and the reasons associated with the colonisation of the country which rendered the constitution of such a special Court necessary. It then deals with the past and present policy of the legislature and sets out the general powers and authorities of the Court, the nature of its jurisdiction, and the changes made in the law relating to Maori lands ... The book covers the Maori Affairs Act, 1953 ... and sets out the practice and procedure of the Court thereof ..." -- Inside front cover.
