Hired a private investigator to document the fraud documents were illegal

In a recent decision of the Borgarting Court of Appeal, it is established that the supervisory employer has exposed the employee to illegality, writes Rett24. For the same reason, the private investigator Finn Abrahamsen and his partner Jan-Arnt Skjolde are not allowed to testify in the context of an ongoing dispute between the employee and the employer.

Borgarting lagmannsrett writes in his decision that he will send "to the social partners the unfortunate message that one can help an employer to take control measures in an illegal and / or inappropriate way".

The employer, a telecommunications company, suspected that the fitter-employee was not working as much as he had stated during his assignment. To clarify the suspicions, they hired a private investigator who photographed for ten days and recorded the movements of the employee. The report invited the installation program to quit its work.

In retrospect, however, the employee agreed with the employer that the termination should be declared invalid. Among the reasons for the vote was the fact that the evidence leading to the termination was illegally and illegally collected.
