The City of Vaughan received a request under the Act for access to records relating to development applications for a particular condominium project. The city granted partial access to the responsive records, relying on the exemptions at sections 7(1) (advice or recommendation) and 12 (solicitor-client privilege). In this order, the adjudicator upholds the city’s decision, in part. She finds that section 7(1) applies to the record for which it was claimed and that the public interest override does not apply to permit its disclosure. She also finds that section 12 applies to all but one of the records for which it was claimed and orders the city to disclose that record to the appellant.
