The political future of Conservative MS Nick Ramsay is hanging in the balance as he awaits court action by his local party as well as a looming reselection battle.
Mr Ramsay faces a contempt of court hearing after refusing to pay the Monmouth Tory association £25,000.
He says he is not paying because he wanted to make a complaint about an alleged conflict of interest.
It comes as a new process begins to find a candidate for Monmouth.
In November Nick Ramsay took Monmouth Conservative Association (MCA) to court in an effort to stop them going ahead with a meeting to discuss a petition calling for him to be deselected.
