110: Cancellation of order to enforce charging order

You could also call this:

"Stopping an order to pay overdue land rates"

If you own land and the Māori Land Court makes an order to enforce a charging order against you, you can ask the court to cancel it. You must do this within 2 months of the order being made. You need to show the court that you have paid all the outstanding rates you owed and that you have made a proper plan to pay your future rates, as stated in the section 108(2) that the order was made under.
