Maori land and governance
A recent Maori Land Court decision indicates that the court is becoming more definitive about governance standards required in commercial dealings, suggests senior solicitor Tama Potaka.
Tama explains how the court's decision serves as a warning to governors of Maori land organisations that they need to be increasingly careful to comply with accepted standards of governance.
In his paper, published in the New Zealand Law Journal in April 2009, Tama outlines the case and the lessons it provides around basic governance standards for trustees of Maori land trusts.
