Gloriavale is a home for all, a place of work for some, and a school for others.
“In terms of members at Gloriavale, the 600 members, 87 families, 388 children under 18 years,” expert witness Gordon Hansen said.
Chartered accountant Gordon Hansen gave evidence as an expert witness for the plaintiffs.
