Rating of Māori freehold land - Enforcement of charging orders

109: Scope of order

You could also call this:

"What the court orders must include to make sure land rates are paid"

When a court makes an order under section 108(2), you need to know what the order says. The order must say how the receiver or trustees will make sure the charging order is followed. The order can also say that the receiver or trustees can get money from someone else who used the land. This can include money for using the land in the past or for rates that person should have paid while using the land.
