Riassunto:Is an employee permitted to record a conversation without the employer’s knowledge? This paper will first outline the relevant case law on the admissibility of clandestine recordings obtained by the employer without the employee’s knowledge. It will then be followed by an examination of a recent case to determine whether the previously articulated principles apply mutatis mutandis. Finally, it will provide a critical analysis of the broader implications of such a solution in employment contexts.
