Recorded Webinar: Covert Recordings in Parenting Matters: Do Two Wrongs Make a Right?

 

11 May 2020
Duration:  approx. 1 hour

 ABOUT THE WEBINAR
As we move into a faster, technology-driven age, the act of recording audio and video on one’s smartphone can be second nature to many. This practice is becoming more and more prevalent in a society which relies on such recordings as proof or evidence another’s bad behaviour. But can this evidence be used in Court and for what purpose? This session examines the role of recordings in parenting matters and considers:

  • What laws govern filming or recording of conversations without the knowledge or permission of the other person?

  • Are there criminal penalties?

  • When is an improperly obtained recording admissible as evidence in Family Court proceedings?

  • What are the Court’s key considerations?

  • Probative value versus prejudicial effect to the other party

  • Case law update
