FIPPA - 17(1)
The college received a request for a copy of a certain contract. A company whose interests might be affected by disclosure of the contract asked that the college not release the contract to the requester, claiming that the college had to withhold it under the mandatory exemption at section 17(1) (third party information). However, the college decided that the contract did not meet one of the requirements of section 17(1) and said that it would release it.
The company appealed the college’s decision. The adjudicator finds that the contract (or any part of it) was not “supplied” to the college, so she upholds the college’s decision and dismisses the appeal.
