An Atlanta attorney has helped secure a semblance of vindication for a Georgia woman secretly recorded having extramarital sex by her soon-to-be ex-husband, allegedly on the advice of his divorce attorneys.

Appellant counsel Jim Neuberger said a decision issued by the Georgia Court of Appeals indicates “a tort is tort” after an intermediate appellate panel ruled the exclusive remedy provision of Georgia’s abusive-litigation statute did not bar his client’s invasion-of-privacy claims.
