Woman sues phone company after husband discovers.. - 05/19/10 07:47 PM
A Canadian woman is suing a mobile phone company after her husband discovered she was having an affair through her itemized phone bill and left her.
Gabriella Nagy, 35, is seeking 600,000 Canadian dollars (�405,475) from Rogers Wireless for invasion of privacy and breach of contract, according to reports.
In court documents Ms Nagy claimed she had asked the phone company to send her bill in her name to her home, but it was instead bundled with the couple's television, Internet and home phone bill in her husband's name
The husband became suspicious when he noticed a number frequently called on the bill and, after dialing it, was told by a man who answered that he recently had a three-week affair with Nagy. He left Nagy and their children in August 2007.
"The affair was over," Ms Nagy told Canwest News Service. "The thing that really hurt me is that it all came out not through my own doing."
She blamed Rogers for the breakup, for having "breached my privacy."
"I entrusted them with my personal information," she said.
Rogers replied, saying it had consolidated the bills at the couple's request.
"We cannot be responsible for the personal decisions made by our customers," a spokesman said.
"The marriage breakup and its effects happened, or alternatively, would in any event have happened, regardless of the form in which the plaintiff and her husband received their invoices," the company said in a statement of defense.
