The appellant made a request under the Act for records relating to a complaint he filed regarding a surveillance camera in his neighbourhood. The city withheld some records, claiming the discretionary exemptions in section 38(a) (records containing the requester’s own personal information), read with sections 7(1) (advice or recommendations) and 12 (solicitor-client privilege), and section 38(b) (unjustified invasion of personal privacy). In this order, the adjudicator upholds the city’s decision and finds there is no public interest in the disclosure of the records. The adjudicator dismisses the appeal.
