Description

The Native Land Court Volume 1 1862-1887: A Historical Study, Cases and Commentary is the first ever authoritative published selection of the Native Land Court's principal decisions.

The book, (the first of a planned three volume series), contains a full introduction explaining the history of the Court and contains over 100 principal cases each of which include full text and introductory commentary explaining the case and its significance.

It includes cases from all over the country, ranging from the Houhora peninsula in the far North to Ruapuke Island in Fouveaux Strait, and includes such key decisions as the Oakura decision of the Compensation Court, the notorious Heretaunga block in Hawke’s Bay, the Chatham Islands cases, and cases relating to the “gift of the peaks” of what is now Tongariro National Park.

It will be of interest to iwi, legal practitioners, and historians and an indispensable reference tool for future work relating to the Native Land Court.

AWARDS: The Native Land Court  Volume 1 1862-1887: A Historical Study, Cases and Commentary  shares winning the 2013 JF Northey Memorial Book Award with Account of Profits, another Thomson Reuters New Zealand publication.

 

Extract from a review by Professor David V Williams, Faculty of Law, University of Auckland

" ...Readers of the Maori Law Review owe an immense debt of gratitude to Professor Richard Boast for authoring this magnificent first volume on leading cases from the period 1862-1887. This is a volume of law reports for 135 leading cases from that period. More than that, this is a scholarly analysis of the origins and early operations of the Native Land Court. More than that again, this is a law report series with in depth commentary on each one of those 135 leading cases.

...In two words – ‘Buy it.’"
