If an ex-partner has obtained, without authorisation, your confidential information, and is threatening to publish it (e.g. via social media), you may be able to obtain a court order via the family court to prevent them from disclosing that information. Not only can you prevent your spouse from using any evidence he or she obtained that way in court, you have the right to sue your spouse for the invasion of your privacy. In Legal Matters this evening we look at the issue of invasion of privacy after a divorce ad what your rights are, and we’re joined by Claire Thomson, an attorney in private practice at Witz Inc Attorneys in Johannesburg. Claire is a specialist family law practitioner, a trained mediator and a notary public. She is also practices commercial law.
