recording is lawful only if it satisfies various conditions, one of the most
important being to let people know that this is part of your normal business

-----------------------------
The LBP regulations, which will allow certain intercetions of e-mails, etc,
for certain lawful business practice reasons, are not yet in force. They
have been delayed by the deliberations over the code of practice to be issued
by the Information Commissioner.
Until the Regs are in force, it is likely that all interceptions of
employee's e-mails are unlawful under RIPA unless they are approved by the
relevant authorities.
