If you have a piece of land with a charging order on it, and the land is divided into smaller parts, the charging order will be split between the parts. The split is usually based on the size of each part. You can find out more about how charging orders are made by looking at section 101. The Māori Land Court can decide to split the charging order in a different way if it thinks that would be fairer. This means the court has the power to make a decision about how the charging order is split, even if it is not just based on the size of the parts.

If a rating unit subject to a charging order made under section 101 is partitioned, the charging order must be apportioned according to the area of each partition.
Despite subsection (1), the Māori Land Court, in its discretion, may make an order that apportions the charge in any other manner that it considers fair and equitable.
