File #  MA11-32
Institution/HIC  Toronto Community Housing Corporation
Summary  The appellant submitted a lengthy, multi-part request to the corporation for records relating to an identified address. The corporation located some responsive records and granted partial access to them, and determined that no records exist for certain parts of the request. The corporation claimed that the mandatory exemption at section 14(1) and the discretionary exemption at section 38(b) (personal privacy) applied to the portions of the records that it withheld. On appealing this decision, the appellant claimed that additional records should exist, thus raising the reasonableness of the corporation’s search as an issue on appeal. The adjudicator finds that certain portions of the records do not contain personal information and orders that these portions be disclosed to the appellant. The adjudicator finds further that the remaining portions of the records do contain personal information and upholds the exemption at section 14(1) for those records that do not contain the appellant’s information and section 38(b) for those records that contain the personal information of both the appellant and other identified individuals. Finally, the adjudicator upholds the corporation’s search for responsive records.
