Read the facts and the question and then choose the best answer.

A employs ten assistants in her travel agency. She decides to install a closed-circuit monitoring system in the reception area, the employees' lounge and the stationery room. The employees complain that A's behavior is destructive of the duty of trust and confidence that is implied by law as a term of all employment contracts.

Is A in breach of a term imposed by law into her contract with her employees that requires her not to damage a relationship of trust and confidence that exists between them?

(a) Yes. There is, in all employment contracts, a term implied by law that obliges the parties not to act in a way that seriously damages a relationship of trust and confidence.

(b) No. There is no term implied by law in all employment contracts that obliges the parties not to act in a way that seriously damages a relationship of trust and confidence.
