Sue Grey, a Nelson-based lawyer and co-leader of the Outdoors and Freedom Party is in custody after a judge removed her from the Nelson District Court for contempt this morning, NZME understands.
The circumstances surrounding Grey’s alleged behaviour are not clear, however a hearing will be held this afternoon where Grey will appear before the court.
It’s understood that when Grey was removed, she was supporting a defendant in court, not representing them. She was escorted from court by security, while the public gallery was cleared, a witness said.
