Institution/HIC  City of Toronto
Summary  This is an appeal under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ). The appellants, represented by a solicitor, have requested copies of records from the City of Toronto (the City) "directly relevant" to them and their property at a named municipal address. The records at issue in this appeal may be generally described as minutes, memoranda, file notes and correspondence detailing the manner in which the City addressed concerns raised by several individuals and a Ratepayers Association (the Association) about the property. In its representations, the City indicates that Records 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and iii-51(a) can be disclosed to the appellants. The remaining records are more particularly described in Appendix "A". The City relies on the following exemptions in denying access to these records: closed meeting - section 6(1)(b) law enforcement - section 8(1)(d) solicitor-client privilege - section 12 invasion of privacy - sections 14(1) and 38(b) discretion to refuse requester's own information - section 38(a) Because of the manner in which I have dealt with the matter of solicitor-client privilege, it is not necessary for me to consider the law enforcement exemption. A Notice of Inquiry was provided to the parties to this appeal, including the former owner of the property and five individuals who were members of the Association and whose names appear in the records. Representations were received from the former owner, the City and the appellants. Counsel representing the five individuals, the Association itself and the other individual members of the Association also submitted representations.
