Applicable Legislation
MFIPPA - 4(1)(b)
MFIPPA - Regulation 823 s. 5.1(a)
An individual asked the Corporation of the City of Brantford for certain correspondence of a specified employee. The city denied the request on the basis that it was frivolous or vexatious (section 4(1)(b) of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act).
The adjudicator finds that the request is frivolous or vexatious because it is part of a pattern of conduct that amounts to an abuse of the right of access. She upholds the city’s decision but does not order the remedy the city seeks.
