FIPPA - 2(1) personal information
FIPPA - 19
FIPPA - 49(a)
The appellant made a request to the university for access to information about herself. The university issued a decision granting partial access to responsive records. The university denied access to some responsive records based on section 49(a) (discretion to refuse requester’s own information), read with section 19 (solicitor-client privilege). In this order, the adjudicator finds that the records contain the appellant’s personal information but contain communications that are solicitor-client privileged and are therefore exempt under section 49(a), read with section 19(a). She upholds the university’s decision and dismisses the appeal.
