FIPPA - 49(b)
The appellant asked the ministry for records about a particular incident involving him. The ministry provided records but denied access to some information. The ministry said that it made this decision to protect another person’s personal privacy, a reason set out in section 49(b) of the Act. The ministry also said that the information in the record was exempt under the discretionary exemption for personal information (section 49(a)) read with the law enforcement exemption at section 14(1).
The adjudicator does not uphold the ministry’s decision and orders it to disclose the relevant information to the appellant.
