FIPPA - 2(1) personal information

FIPPA - 49(a)
The appellant made a request to the university for access to information about herself in relation to a specific event and meeting held on campus. The university denied access to 15 of 28 responsive records based on section 49(a) (right to refuse access to requester’s own personal information), read with section 19 (solicitor-client privilege). In this order, the adjudicator finds all the withheld records are 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.
