But the relatives may want to bring to the employer's attention any breach of
contract, protocol, terms of employment, etc. Are we saying the evidence
would not be acceptable in an industrial tribunal? Or that the validity of it is
questionable?
Unless of course we are saying that the relatives have been advised the
recordings cannot be used for any purpose other than private and personal, such as
the well-being of the individual.
Even so, are we really saying that an employee, instructed to attend a
particular address, caught on camera picking their nose (or worse) has no rights
over the images? Surely they have a right to know about the recording, a right
to a copy of it and other rights under s6 and s10. Or is my common sense
deserting me?
