Mariameno Kapa-Kingi’s membership of Te Pāti Māori has been reinstated after taking her expulsion from the party to court.
The decision from Justice Paul Radich, who heard the case in the High Court at Wellington yesterday, is expected to be published soon.
The Herald understands Radich has found in favour of Kapa-Kingi.
The ruling means she should be able to participate in the party’s annual meeting this weekend. Te Pāti Māori had opposed her participation after expelling the Te Tai Tokerau MP last month.
The decision is an interim measure ahead of a substantive hearing on February 2.
