Ultimately the court has the discretion whether or not to admit something like this into evidence and usually in very rare circumstances. People are not allowed to be voice recorded without their consent and if it's the main piece of evidence in the case it is likely that the court will find it inadmissible and ask that party to make it's case with other facts and evidence.

its an illegal recording, not admissible in a court of law. A person or persons have to be notified that they are about to be recorded, prior to conversing.
