  Use of covert recordings

  on Court Says It's Okay To Secretly Record Conversation If Done For Legitimate Reasons
  I have read all posts with interest and it makes my situation even muddier. A manager of my company used a covert digital device to record line management meetings, within which we discussed other employees sensitive information in relation to providing support to them and how their behaviour was impacting on my company. The discussion was appropriate as she is the employees line manager and thus her responsibility to provide support. However I have since discovered this manager has allowed others outside the organisation to listen to these recordings. I am outraged but it would look like I am responsible being the data controller of the company but employment law states its ok to do so but apart from that it is simply morally wrong to use this very sensitive information as a means of entertainment. I was totally unaware of the recordings being made or their use afterwards but how do I prove this. Would welcome any suggestions. I'm frantic, my business could be at stake and these employees trust me !!
