A GUIDE TO OUR MINUTE BOOK ABBREVIATIONS
This factsheet provides information about, and a summary of, abbreviations used
for minute books of the Māori Land Court and Māori Appellate Court

Introduction
In the 150 year history of the Māori Land Court
evidence and decisions have been recorded in a
local (and more recently) national minute book series.
This fact sheet provides a guide to minute book:
•

Naming Conventions
Series types
Early minute book series dealt with land
investigations for a regional location.
As the role of the Department (Native and Māori
Affairs) evolved, the type of minute books also
evolved to include a wider range of activities.
These activities differed depending on legislation in
force at the time and varied depending on the
registry.
In general however, the following types of minute
books were kept:
•
Historically each registry office was responsible for
the creation and maintenance of their minute book
series.
Historically judicial officers and their support staff
travelled to different locations across New Zealand to
hear and determine applications.
In a pre-digital context, it wasn’t practical to have one
minute book series for a district or the court as a
whole; rather it made more sense to have multiple
minute books so these could travel with the
associated judicial officer or, for larger districts, a
minute book series based in major cities.
The Māori Land Court had support staff located at
many offices of the Department of Māori Affairs who
maintained minute book series for judicial officers
and/or bodies working in those areas or for specific
departmental or land board activities.
As an example, in the Taitokerau District of the Māori
Land Court, minute books were maintained for
Geographic: Usually a hearing venue had its own
minute book which dealt with all applications in
the surrounding geographic.
•
Adoptions: Dealt specifically with adoptions
between 1909 and 1962.
•
Consolidation: Recorded title consolidations
undertaken as part of a consolidation scheme
initiated by the local District Māori Land Boards.
Minute books also recorded succession to
interests that were subject to consolidation up
until final allocation of new titles was made.
•
Alienation: Some offices kept specific series
relating to the lease and sale of Māori Land
which required confirmation of the local District
Māori Land Board
•
Judicial: In some cases, early judicial officers
would maintain their own minute book series for
specific investigations or because they would be
away from a regional centre for long periods of
time

Quasi-judicial: Where a Registrar or Deputy
Registrar acted in a quasi-judicial power afforded
them under legislation, these were recorded in a

Evidence and decisions are recorded in

•
Appellate Court: Established as the Native
Appellate Court in 1894, the (now) Māori
Appellate Court has its own minute book series.

Syntax

In 1999 the Court launched its Māori land Information
System (MLIS) as its central case management, land
registry and document management system.
As part of development of that system, a syntax and
abbreviation standard was developed to enable all
minute book series to be accessible through the
MLIS.
Between 2001 and 2002, the court captured the
majority of its historical minutes in the MLIS, making
them available to court staff and members of the
public.
This standard syntax style is used by the Māori Land
Court to locate its historical minute books.
Please note: This syntax differs from the Legal style
guide for referencing a decision of the Māori Land
Court or Māori Appellate Court.
