The Ruapuha Uekaha Hapū Trust was established to give effect to the settlement of Treaty of Waitangi claim Wai 51. Currently, the Māori Land Court can terminate a trust if it sees fit to do so, in accordance with certain requirements. Termination of this trust would have the potential to compromise the terms of the settlement of the Wai 51 claim. The bill aims to amend the Act so that the power to terminate a trust does not apply to the Ruapuha Uekaha Hapū Trust. This will protect the entitlements of the Wai 51 intended beneficiaries, and the proposed amendments are supported by the trust.
