168: Notices in relation to Maori land

You could also call this:

“Rules for sending notices about Māori land for electricity matters”

When someone needs to give a notice or document to the owner of Maori land for the Electricity Act 1992, they can give it to the Registrar of the Maori Land Court instead. This follows the rules in Part 9 of the Maori Affairs Amendment Act 1974.

In this law, Maori land means the same thing as it does in section 4 of TeTure Whenua Maori Act 1993. This helps make sure everyone understands what kind of land the law is talking about.
