Are the RIPA guidance notes at:-
http://www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/acts/en/2000en23.htm
Where they state:
"21. Subsection (3) creates civil liability for unlawful interception on a
private telecommunications network, the locations at which the liability
applies and the persons who may bring an action under this subsection,
namely the sender, recipient or intended recipient. For example, where an
employee believes that their employer has unlawfully intercepted a telephone
conversation with a third party, either the employee or the third party may
sue the employer."
incorrect. Or is the Home Office guidance incomplete?
