New Zealand Legislation: Regulations
Regulations are laws made under Acts
(1) These rules shall apply to any proceedings in the Maori Land Court or the Maori Appellate Court, as the case may be.
(2) If any case arises for which no form of procedure is prescribed by any Act, rule, or regulation, the Court shall dispose of the case as nearly as may be practicable in accordance with the provisions of the Act or these rules affecting any similar case, or, if there are no such provisions, in such manner as the Court thinks best calculated to promote the ends of justice.
(3) Non compliance with any of these rules shall not render any proceedings or interlocutory application or document void unless the Court so directs; but any such proceedings, interlocutory application, or document may be set aside, either wholly or in part, as irregular, or may be amended or otherwise dealt with in such manner and upon such terms as the Court thinks fit.
