Summary
|
|
The United Counties of Prescott and Russell received a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act). The requester sought access to a copy of a letter of complaint together with the related investigation file, and a copy of the complete file on his residence. Pursuant to section 18(1) of the Act, the request was forwarded to the Township of Russell (the Township) which had custody of the records.
The Township located two records as responsive to the request. Access was denied in their entirety on the basis that they would disclose the identity of a confidential source of information in respect of a law enforcement matter, pursuant to section 8(1)(d) of the Act. In its decision letter, the Township asked the requester to clarify what he meant when he asked for the “complete file on his residence”.
The requester, now the appellant, appealed the Township’s decision. In the appeal letter, the appellant provided further details on “the complete file on his residence”, but did not forward the information to the Township. The Township sent out a second request for clarification. As the appellant did not respond to either of the Township’s requests, this office notified him that the appeal was proceeding to mediation on the basis of the complaint letter and the investigation file only. The appellant agreed.
