Ontario Regulation 211/19
The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario received a privacy complaint involving the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO). The complaint was that the HRTO had inappropriately disclosed personal information in a Case Assessment Direction (CAD). The complainant believed that the disclosure had breached his privacy under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act).
This report finds that a CAD is an HRTO decision and that, in accordance with section 37 of the Act, the provisions for the protection of individual privacy found in Part III of the Act do not apply to it.
