PO-4513

This order involves a request for records relating to the appellant in the context of their employment with the University of Ottawa (the university). The university denied access to records including videos, claiming that they are excluded from the scope of the Act under the labour relations and employment exclusion in section 65(6)3. The appellant claims that the records are not excluded from the Act due to the doctrine of promissory estoppel, the exception in section 65(7) and that the videos were not made for an employment purpose. In this order, the adjudicator finds that promissory estoppel does not apply, section 65(6)3 applies to all of the records except the videos, and the exception in section 65(7) do not apply. She orders the university to issue a decision letter to the appellant regarding the videos without recourse to section 65(6)3.
