Woman Sues Rogers After Husband Discovers Affair

I'm sure he wouldn't have found out any other way that she was cheating...

A Toronto woman has filed a $600,000 lawsuit against Rogers Wireless Inc., alleging the company's billing procedures led to her husband finding out about her extramarital affair.

The Toronto Starreports Gabriella Nagy filed the claim alleging invasion of privacy and breach of contract in Ontario court.

Nagy had a cellphone account with Rogers in 2007. The monthly bill was sent to her home address and addressed to her maiden name, the Star reported. The family had an account with Rogers for their cable TV service at the same address. In June 2007, Nagy's husband, in whose name the family account was registered, added Internet and home phone services to the family account.

The next month, the company mailed one bill for all services - including Nagy's cellphone - to the family home. An itemized bill for the cellphone account showed multiple hour-long phone calls to the same phone number.

Nagy told the newspaper her husband called the number and spoke to the third party, who confirmed the affair.

Rogers says it can't be held responsible for the the breakup of the marriage, Nagy's affair or the effects of the breakup on her life.

"Rogers is not the cause of these," the statement of defence says. "The marriage breakup and its effects happened, or alternatively would have happened, regardless of the form in which the plaintiff and her husband received their invoices for Rogers services in July 2007."

It wasn't me.

It's common (at least with T-mobile) to have all activity on a family plan shown

so that both or either can see all activity. If the client didn't know that in the

first place, I don't see any way the company could be held liable. For what?

She made a lifestyle decision and they are in no way guilty for that.

A lawyer will help you sue, even in a case where your own stupidity is to blame.

I can't believe she is trying to shift the blame. It is another proof that even Canada is starting to become a litigious society. I freaking hate that. Take responsibility for your actions, b1tch!
