Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975

8C: Right to be heard on question in relation to land transferred to or vested in State enterprise

You could also call this:

"Having a say about land given to a State enterprise"

When the Tribunal looks into a claim under section 6, you might have questions about land that was transferred to a State enterprise. If this happens, only certain people can talk to the Tribunal about it. You can be one of these people if you are the claimant, the Minister of Maori Affairs, another Minister who wants to be involved, or a Maori person with a special interest in the inquiry. The Tribunal decides who has a special interest.
