MO-1913

This appeal concerns a decision of the London Police Service (the Police) made pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act). The requester (now the appellant) requested information relating to a specific motor vehicle accident in which he was involved.

The Police issued a decision letter in which they granted access to portions of five records and denied access to other portions of these records pursuant to section 38(a) of the Act, read in conjunction with the law enforcement exemptions in sections 8(1)(c) (investigative techniques), 8(1)(d) (confidential source of information) and 8(1)(l) (unlawful act/control of crime), and section 38(b) of the Act, read in conjunction with the section 14(1) personal privacy exemption, and supported by sections 14(2)(h) (information supplied in confidence) and 14(3)(b) (investigation into violation of law). In making their decision to deny access to some of the requested information the Police claimed the application of section 15(a) (information available to the public). The Police also claimed that information contained in one of the records is nonresponsive to the appellant’s request.
