MO-1742

Document		MO-1742


File #		MA-030105-1


Institution/HIC		City of Toronto


Summary		This appeal concerns a decision of the City of Toronto (the City) made pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act). The requester (now the appellant) had sought access to a copy of a legal opinion provided to the City from [a named law firm]. The appellant indicates in his request that he was informed at a meeting held by the City Planning Department on a specified date that “…[this] opinion [had] been delivered to the City Solicitor for review.” By way of background the opinion relates to a proposed residential and commercial development at the northwest corner of Church Street and Adelaide Street East in Toronto, currently the site of a commercial parking lot. The site forms part of a block of land between King and Adelaide Streets with Church Street to the west, which contains the St. James Cathedral, the Parish House and the Diocesan Centre (the Cathedral Lands). The Cathedral Lands have been the subject of a long-standing and acrimonious land use and developmental rights dispute. The City issued a decision denying access to a responsive record pursuant section 12 (solicitorclient privilege) of the Act. The appellant appealed the City’s decision.
