Māori claim for land & harm valued at $2b in Nelson ‘Tenths’ case
2017 Supreme Court judgment in favour of Māori landowners has led to liability and loss hearing in High Court.
Wakatū's businesses include Kono Horticulture, with orchards across its land near Motueka and Nelson.
Customary Māori landowners in the Nelson-Motueka region who have taken the Crown to court over its mishandled duty to enforce the “Tenths” land deal they struck with the New Zealand Company in 1839 estimate that the value of restitution could amount to just over $2 billion.
