PO-4506

The appellant made a request under the Act to the University of Toronto (the university) for access to records related to the compensation paid to an external law firm for a report regarding the cancellation of the recruitment process for a Director of the International Human Rights Program at the university’s Faculty of Law. The appellant also sought access to records regarding the retention of a communications consultant in relation to the cancelled hiring process. The university denied access to the records claiming that they were excluded from the scope of the Act under section 65(6)3 (labour relations or employment-related matters). In this order the adjudicator finds that all the records are excluded from the scope of the Act and dismisses the appeal.
