MO-2025
The Hamilton Police Services Board (the Police) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, (the Act) from a lawyer representing a deceased individual’s daughter (the requester), in her capacity as the executor of her mother’s estate. The same lawyer also represents the estate and several other family members. The request was for information regarding an investigation by the Police into the physical condition of the deceased individual at the time of her transfer from a long-term care facility (the nursing home) to a named health care facility (the hospital). Many of the records requested also included information about the requester as well as information about her deceased mother. Therefore, the Police treated the request as a request by the requester for her own personal information as well as a request for her mother’s personal information.
