File #  PA10-3
Institution/HIC  Legal Aid Ontario
Summary  This appeal addresses a request for access to records that were generated as a result of the requester’s complaint regarding a legal aid clinic funded and monitored by Legal Aid Ontario. The records at issue were held to fall within the scope of the confidentiality provision at section 90(1) of the Legal Aid Services Act and in accordance with section 67(2) 7.0.1 of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act or FIPPA), the Act is not the controlling statute for protecting the confidentiality of this information. As a result, Legal Aid Ontario’s decision not to disclose the records was upheld.
