You don't say whether your pilot was a PPL or whether he had any form of instrument qualification?
If the former - providing you remain in sight of the surface, perfectly legal. If you lose sight of the surface you require an instrument qualification (IMC / IR(R) / IR) to remain so.
WB9999 - Schedule 7 of the ANO still contains the "in sight of the surface" restriction. Am I missing something with the EASA transition?
