Court of Appeal Ruling on the Confidentiality of Private Conversations
February 27, 2026
The Court of Appeal ruled that private conversations are confidential and cannot be disclosed to others, regardless of their content. This decision stemmed from a case involving a defendant charged with intercepting a conversation with members of the board of the Cyprus Tourism Organization. The defendant submitted an audio recording during a legal dispute over his dismissal. The Court rejected the notion that privacy only applies to personal matters. The ruling emphasizes the importance of confidentiality in professional conversations.
