A taxi driver accused of careless driving which killed a young father and friend of Auckland's mayor can be named again after a short court suppression order.
Daljinder Singh, 25, has pleaded not guilty to operating a vehicle carelessly causing death and has elected a judge-alone trial later this year.
He was charged last December.
For the past two weeks he enjoyed an interim order preventing the Herald publishing his name, despite media having already previously reported Singh as the accused.
Daniel (Dann) Kopa, 34, died after he was hit by a car on Hobson St in Auckland's city centre just before 9am on June 6 last year.
