Ousted Te Pāti Māori MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi has been awarded a temporary court order to reinstate her in the party.
Her case was heard by Justice Paul Radich in the High Court at Wellington on Thursday morning.
Mariameno Kapa-Kingi was expelled alongside Tākuta Ferris in early November after a period of internal conflict.
She'll now be free to attend this weekend's Te Pāti Māori Annual General Meeting.
Also offering his response is Co-Leader of Te Pāti Māori Rawiri Waititi.
Te Pāti Māori says while she has won the reinstatement, three other requests were declined, which were to have party president John Tamihere removed from office, to stop the scheduled AGM and to prevent the party's National Council and Executive from passing further resolutions.
