• Evidence showed the content was recorded during business hours on employer property in areas accessible to both staff and the public.
• The tribunal determined that a reasonable expectation of privacy was absent because the images were captured in non-private workplace locations.
• Member Megan Stewart concluded that forwarding the images to probe alleged workplace misconduct fell within the Act’s public interest exception.
• The Civil Resolution Tribunal dismissed her complaint and ruled she was not entitled to any damages.
