It is actually illegal to record a conversation without someone’s consent. What disciplinary action was taken against the person who did so?

It’s not. It is, however, a civil (not criminal) offence to share a recording with others.

Actually in most countries not illegal to record a conversation. It may be illegal what you do with it afterwards, may violate employment policy (she is no longer employed and cannot be disciplined), and may be inadmissible in court. From what I understand not illegal to record a conversation in the UK. A lot of people misunderstand that unethical and illegal are not the same thing.

Just so it’s clear, I was not the one who made the recording. I was recorded, see above “third party.” Maggie-Lou
