Special Investigations Unit Act, s. 2(1)
Special Investigations Unit Act, s. 34
An individual requested access from the Ministry of the Attorney General (the ministry) for records of a Special Investigations Unit investigation of his complaint against a police officer. The ministry provided access to some of the records but denied access to others. The appellant determined that he wanted to pursue access to audio recordings of witness interviews that the ministry denied access to, claiming the personal privacy exemption.
In this order, the adjudicator finds the records are exempt under the personal privacy exemption because disclosure of the personal information in those records would be an unjustified invasion of personal privacy. She upholds the institution’s decision not to disclose them and dismisses the appeal.
