Turner vs Wilson: Betrayal or Bad Contract | Christchurch News

A high-stakes corporate betrayal trial is heating up in Christchurch’s Employment Court, where Peter Turner, former South Island boss of New Zealand’s largest car park company, faces accusations of secretly building his own rival firm while still employed — allegedly stealing clients, shortening leases, and plotting his exit to cash in on a $25 million payday. Wilson Parking paints him as a devious insider who abused his position, while Turner’s defense argues the non-compete clause was grossly unfair and void. The case hinges on whether Turner’s actions were a calculated theft or a victim of an unreasonable contract — with the judge’s verdict poised to reshape how corporate loyalty and restraint clauses are judged in New Zealand.
