Naomi Campbell has won an appeal against a ban that would have barred her from serving as a charity trustee, after a tribunal ruled she was unaware of misconduct that occurred at her charity, Fashion for Relief, the BBC reports.
The ban had stemmed from findings related to how the charity was run, but the tribunal concluded that Campbell herself had not known about the misconduct in question at the time it took place.
What the ruling means
Overturning the ban allows Campbell to continue acting in trustee roles for charitable organizations, reversing an earlier decision that would have prevented her from doing so. The BBC's report did not detail the specific nature of the misconduct at Fashion for Relief or when the underlying issues were first identified.
Fashion for Relief, the charity founded by Campbell, has been associated with high-profile fundraising events held around the fashion industry's calendar. Regulatory scrutiny of celebrity-linked charities has periodically drawn attention to how such organizations are governed and overseen.
The BBC did not report whether Campbell or her representatives issued a statement following the tribunal's decision.
