Recorded conversations
<p>In England, If I covertly record someone who is engaged admitting to an affair with me, is it illegal to share that with their fiance without their consent? If so, can I make their fiance aware that I have this recording? </p>

<p>Yes, it is unlawful to share the recording without the consent of the person(s) recorded, unless you can demonstrate it is in the public interest - which seems unlikely in this context.</p>

<blockquote>

</blockquote>

<p>Depends on your purpose. If it is merely to inform them then I don't think it is unlawful - if it is for (say) blackmail or extortion then it is unlawful.</p>
