Summary
|
|
The Township of Chatsworth (the Township) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ) for access to a copy of a "complete petition against [a named association] that was presented to Council on May 14, 2001 by [a named individual]." The Township granted partial access to the petition, denying access to the names, signatures, addresses and emergency telephone numbers, on the basis of section 14 of the Act (invasion of privacy). The requester, now the appellant, appealed the Township's decision. Resolution of the appeal through mediation was not successful, and it was transferred to the adjudication stage. A Notice of Inquiry was sent to the Township initially, and I received representations in response. For the first time in its representations, the Township raised the possible application of the section 12 discretionary exemption claim (solicitor-client privilege). A modified Notice, which included this new issue, was then sent to the appellant, together with the Township's representations in their entirety. The appellant also provided representations. A Notice of Inquiry was also sent to the 27 signatories of the petition, who had not been previously notified by the Township but whose interests could be affected by this appeal (the affected persons). Four signatories provided representations objecting to disclosure of any information relating to them; one Notice was returned as undeliverable; and the 19 other affected persons did not respond.
