Gloriavale member savouring legal victory against group

From Morning Report, 7:38 am on 11 May 2022

A former member of Gloriavale is still savouring what he says was a "mind-blowing" legal victory yesterday.

The Employment Court has found that the Christian sect effectively employed Daniel Pilgrim, along with two others, from the age of six through until their teen years in what it said was  "strenuous, difficult and sometimes dangerous" conditions.

Chief Judge Christina Inglis will rule on the question of compensation later. 

Pilgrim spoke to Susie Ferguson.
