06-26-09 MARINA STENGART v. LOVING CARE AGENCY, INC.
A-3506-08T1
In this appeal, the court addressed whether workplace
regulations converted an employee's emails with her attorney --
sent through the employee's personal, password-protected, web-
based email account, but via her employer's computer -- into the
employer's property. Finding that the policies undergirding the
attorney-client privilege substantially outweigh the employer's
interest in enforcement of its unilaterally imposed workplace
regulation, the court rejected the employer's claimed right to
rummage through and retain the empattorney.
