New Zealand Legislation: Acts
Acts are laws made by Parliament
(1) Te Ohu Kai Moana Trustee Limited, mandated iwi organisations, and recognised iwi organisations must recognise and deal with a recognised iwi organisation as if it were a mandated iwi organisation, including for the matters listed in section 27(3), until there is a mandated iwi organisation for the iwi.
(2) Despite the constitutional documents of a recognised iwi organisation, Te Ohu Kai Moana Trustee Limited may, if it considers in the circumstances that it is reasonably necessary, require the directors, trustees, or office holders of a recognised iwi organisation to demonstrate that, in relation to their functions under this Act, they have the confidence of the majority of the adult members of the iwi who vote at a properly constituted general meeting to act on their behalf.
