File #  MA-040032-1
Institution/HIC  City of Waterloo
Summary

The City of Waterloo (the City) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for access to records relating to directors and officers’ liability protection under the City’s insurance polices for the period from 1999 to 2003 inclusive.

The request specifically stated:

I would like to peruse whatever directors and officers’ liability protection under insurance policy/agreement to The City of Waterloo exists for the period 1999 through 2003 inclusive, including any re-insurance beyond the limit of the Regional “insurance pool”. I also wish to peruse any agreement/policy/procedure outlining the City of Waterloo’s legal obligation to defend or not defend its directors and/or officers against such liability claims.

The City identified a number of records responsive to the request and provided the requester with access to all but one responsive record. Access was denied to an eight-page settlement agreement between the City and an affected person, pursuant to section 14 (personal privacy) of the Act.

The requester, now the appellant, appealed the City’s decision to deny access to the settlement agreement.
