A Toronto woman says the billing practices of Rogers Wireless Inc. led to her husband discovering her extramarital affair.
Now the woman, whose husband walked out, is suing the communications giant for $600,000 for alleged invasion of privacy and breach of contract, the results of which she says have ruined her life.

What? She probably shouldn't have had the affair because that seems to be what ruined her life.
However, the fact that Rogers gave information away to the "third party" aka the married man she was fooling around with is a huge allegation. Rogers seems to screw up consistently when it comes to customer service so I don't doubt all of the allegations against them. But are they worth $600 000 after "ruining her life?"

Period.

Here is another exaple of people suing over the most ridiculous things. If she didn't want to get caught then she never should've cheated in the first place. Perhaps next time she will think of the conquences first.

In Canada is it illegal to provide ANY information to people who are NOT the primary account holders of any sort of service.

I have a question about this though, suppose the ex-boyfriend had another woman call and get the password on the account, saying she was the owner of it, is the company still liable?
It seems to me this fellow got the password with no trouble at all.
Do they ask security questions to verify the account?

Its laughable to say the least, but the company will be fine. The guy was her husband and thus is not a third person party, but directly linked with one another. However, as this is a Canadian case and not accustom to their laws, will have to hang my head in shame if the company has to pay a sent to this lady and be deeply disappointed in my neighbors(canada) actions towards the right thing to do...
After she terminated her relationship with the “third party” in August 2007, the jilted lover, himself a married father of three, called Rogers and obtained her secret password to her voicemail and used it to access it to harass her and taunt the husband, the statement of claim alleges.
