Anyone whose communication is illegally intercepted, disclosed or used can sue to recover eitheractual damages or statutory damages, calculated at the rate of $100 per day of violation or$1,000, whichever is greater. The statute also provides for punitive damages, reasonableattorney's fees and court costs. See Md Code Ann., Cts & Jud. Proc. ��10-401, et seq. (1997).

There may also be an invasion of privacy claim.
