A legal bid by the Jehovah's Witness church to get out of being part of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care has been dismissed by the High Court in Wellington.
The church filed a judicial review and argued at a hearing that its activities were not in the inquiry's scope because it did not have institutions that looked after children or vulnerable people.
Justice Ellis has dismissed that argument. Survivor Jasmine Grew says the court result is a win for survivors.
Grew spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
