Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Michigan

Concealed recording

If the plantiff says he has a tape recording of the defendant (which the plantiff taped secretly without the defendant's knowledge), and the defendant's lawyer is requesting to hear it (only pieces of a transcipt of the tape have been released) and the plantiff is refusing, can it still be brought to court and heard in front of a jury trial?

Re: Concealed recording

As posted earlier, knowledge of a telephone conversation is not necessary if the person offering the tape recording was a party to the conversation. If both parties have an attorney, these questions should be answered by the attorneys involved in the case since they have specific knowledge of the facts and issues. I suppose the tape recording can be obtained through discovery.
