Going from memory, not always a good idea, there was a case in the early
2000s against UK in which a a person's rights under ECHR for privacy
extended into the work place and another of Nokia v Republic France which
stated that Nokia's policy of no internet access for private use was not
worth the paper it was written on. This case was around 2003 I think.
Both cases were at the European Courts of Human Rights.

Subject: [data-protection] Expectation of Privacy at work
Dear all,
Please can anyone tell me if they recall that there is any reference to an
expecation of privacy for staff at work in legislation or recent case law?
I seem to recall something along the lines of this but cannot recall where
I have seen it.
I am not discussing whether or not we agree with this right, but just if
case law or legislation mentions it.
I would like to understand if staff can have a reasonable expectation of
privacy when using say, a work computer and if this could be superseded by
the company issuing a policy statement to the effect that staff should
have not expectation of privacy when using company computers.
Many thanks,
Clare
