The Native Land Court became a permanent and formal court of record when the Native Lands Act 1862 was replaced by the Native Lands Act 1865. This act was designed by Francis Dart Fenton, who became the first chief judge of the Native Land Court. In December 1864 a new system of Native Land Courts covering the entire colony was introduced. In each of these courts judgements were made by a presiding judge and two Māori assessors.
