MFIPPA - 2(1) personal information
MFIPPA - 14(1)
MFIPPA - 14(3)(b)
The appellant sought access to the identity of an individual who complained about the tree on the appellant’s front lawn by making a request under the Act to the City of Toronto (the city).
The city denied access to the requested information, found in records relating to a 311 call made by the complainant. It relied on the mandatory personal privacy exemption in section 14(1) of the Act to deny access to the information. In this order, the adjudicator finds that the contact and identifying information of the complainant is exempt by reason of section 14(1) and upholds the city’s decision not to disclose it.
