Re: audio taping without permission
Let's rephrase the question.
Are recordings of conversations had by the litigants admissible in an action against one of the call participants even if that person gave no one permission to record the call and didn't know the call was being recorded?
Yes it is if the call was made in NY to a person in NY State. Otherwise, it may be admissable in NY but not in a state where the phone call would have required two party consent.
NOTE The taping party must be a party to the call. You cannot bug a call you are not a party to. That would be highly illegal.
Good Luck
