We are all citizens of the digital age. With the rise of cellphones and their increasingly powerful cameras, photos and videos are captured and shared in private collections and on social media.
Such recordings are typically done with the knowledge of all the parties to the recording, but what happens when a recording (sound or video) is made secretly without the knowledge of one of the parties? What is the legal status of such "surreptitious recordings"? More importantly, what if one of the parties wants to tender the recording as evidence in civil proceedings?
This concise two-hour program will review the law and issues surrounding such secret recordings and examine two areas where the use of such recordings may arise: family law and labour law.
Please note that if you plan to attend this course in person, it does not include lunch. However, you are free to bring your own “brown bag” lunch if so desired.
Law Society of BC CPD Hours: 2 hours (this course will contain a minimum of 1 hour pertaining to professional responsibility and ethics, client care and relations, and/or practice management)
