Monitoring of the use by an employee of a professional instant messaging tool for personal purposes
Court decision in Bărbulescu v. Romania On 5 September 2017, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (the “ECHR”) examined for the first time the issue of the monitoring of electronic communications of an employee by a private employer, within the framework of an action brought by Mr Bărbulescu, an engineer employed by a private company in Romania. Mr Bărbulescu had been dismissed for using for personal purposes, in breach of the provisions of the internal regulations of the company, a professional Yahoo Messenger account created at his employer’s request for the purpose of responding to customers’ enquiries.
