Section 5 of the WA Surveillance Devices Act 1998, "Regulation of use, installation and maintenance of listening devices". Subsection 3(d) allows a principle party to a private conversation to authorize the use of a listening device without the consent of any other parties if it "is reasonably necessary for the protection of the lawful interests of that principal party."
Where this occurs what is required before he recording can used as evidence? Does the Principal party need to apply or seek approval from a judge or court before using the recording?
