    The spotlight is turning to other cases at Gloriavale which could be described as forced labour

    The spotlight is turning to other cases at Gloriavale which could be described as forced labour


    The Employment Court has ruled three ex-residents were employees from the age of six, not volunteers.

    It found the work can't be described as chores or education, because of the commercial nature.

    Gloriavale Leavers Support Trust Manager Liz Gregory says there's now the opportunity for others, with a second case already set down for September.

    She says it's set a precedent for how future cases are decided.
