Illinois Employee Stated Claim for Intrusion Upon Seclusion

By Michael Progar

ADVERTISEMENTS
In Burns v. Masterbrand Cabinets, Inc., decided by the Appellate Court of Illinois on January 9, 2007, the court held that an employee's complaint stated a claim for intrusion upon seclusion. The employee sued his employer, an independent company hired by the employer to adjust the employee's workers' compensation claim, a private investigation agency, and a detective who worked for the agency. The employee alleged that the detective had entered his home under false pretenses, and used a hidden camera in a fanny pack to record the employee's movement and conversation inside his home. The detective later testified in the employee's workers' compensation case based on that entry into the plaintiff's home. The employee contended that the intrusion was highly offensive, and that he had sustained anguish and suffering as a result.
