PO-4657

An individual made a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act for records related to complaints made about them to the Ontario Securities Commission. The OSC disclosed to the individual some records. It withheld some records on the basis that their disclosure could reasonably be expected to reveal investigative techniques and procedures currently in use or likely to be used by the OSC (section 49(a), read with section 14(1)(c)) and would result in an unjustified invasion of other individual’s personal privacy (section 49(b)).
The individual disagreed with the OSC’s decision and claimed that the OSC’s search for records was not reasonable.
In this order, the adjudicator orders the OSC to disclose additional information to the appellant and otherwise upholds the OSC’s decision.
