Privacy Rights and Neighbourhood Disputes

In every neighbourhood, an increasing number of doorbell cameras and home surveillance systems are capturing the daily movements of strangers and neighbours alike. For lawyers, this means you should be prepared to give advice on residential privacy disputes.

Surveillance devices may suggest a sense of security to the occupier of a premises; however, neighbours often feel that security cameras can restrict and intrude upon the enjoyment of their property.

This session offers practitioners some of the key issues you need to know when residential privacy disputes arise, including:

• The particular rules surrounding optical and audio recording.
• How to bring or defend a surveillance complaint under tort law (nuisance).
• The rights of tenants and landlords installing cameras.
• Disputes that can arise in Owners Corporations.
• The current state of privacy laws and a case update. 

Ensure that you know what can and cannot be tolerated in a matter involving privacy and neighbourhood surveillance.
