The requester sought access under the Act to records about a specific residential property in the City of Thunder Bay (the city). The city issued a decision denying access to some of the responsive records pursuant to section 12 (solicitor-client privilege) and some information under section 14(1) (personal privacy) of the Act. The city stated that it was charging a fee. The requester and the owners of the property appealed the city’s decision. The requester also appealed the city’s fee and claimed that the city had not conducted a reasonable search for responsive records.
In this order, the adjudicator partially upholds the application of section 14(1). She upholds the application of section 12. She does not uphold the fee. Finally, she orders the city to conduct another search for responsive records.
