John Doe V. Ontario (Information And Privacy Commissioner)
In acquitting an accused, Judge Matlow of the Ontario Divisional Court, stated that the four police officers involved in the case had harassed the accused and that they should be charged with fabricating evidence. Matlow sought access to the report of the Ontario Provincial Police exonerating the officers under the Ontario Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (1987) but was denied access to it by the OPP. Access was later granted by the FIPPA Commissioner. The Court ruled that the FIPPA Commissioner fundamentally misconstrued the Act in finding that "the presumption in s. 21(3) of an unjustified invasion of personal privacy was subject to rebuttal by the application of a discretionary balancing process under s. 21(2)". The commissioner gave himself a power not granted by the legislation and thereby committed a jurisdictional error in his application of discretionary balancing process (which he did not have). In addition, the FIPPA Commissioner was deemed to dec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is the provincial police service of Ontario, Canada. Under its provincial mandate, the OPP patrols provincial highways and waterways, protects provincial government buildings and officials, patrols unincorporated areas, and provides support to other agencies. The OPP also has a number of local mandates through contracts with municipal governments, where it acts as the local police force and provides front-line services. With an annual budget of nearly $1.2 billion, the OPP employed 5,500 uniformed officers, 700 auxiliary officers, and 2,500 civilian employees in 2020, making it the largest police service in Ontario and the second-largest in Canada (after the Royal Canadian Mounted Police). The OPP's operations are directed by its commissioner ( Thomas Carrique) and it is a part of the Ministry of the Solicitor General.

Freedom Of Information And Protection Of Privacy Act (Ontario)
The ''Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act'' ( R.S.O. 1990, c. F.31) (commonly abbreviated FIPPA) (the Act) is an Act of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. The Act legislates access to information held by public institutions in Ontario subject to specific requirements to safeguard the personal information of individuals. History In 1977, the Williams Commission was convened with a mandate from Ontario's Attorney General to report on public information policies of the Government of Ontario. The Commission presented recommendations to the provincial legislature in August, 1980. After the long-standing Progressive Conservative government was defeated in 1985, the Liberal party established a minority government with the support of the New Democratic Party (NDP). One of the conditions for the NDP's support was passage of Bill 34, legislation which would establish new freedom of information and privacy protection law, and which relied on the recommendations of the W ...

Judicial Review
Judicial review is a process under which executive, legislative and administrative actions are subject to review by the judiciary. A court with authority for judicial review may invalidate laws, acts and governmental actions that are incompatible with a higher authority: an executive decision may be invalidated for being unlawful or a statute may be invalidated for violating the terms of a constitution. Judicial review is one of the checks and balances in the separation of powers: the power of the judiciary to supervise the legislative and executive branches when the latter exceed their authority. The doctrine varies between jurisdictions, so the procedure and scope of judicial review may differ between and within countries. General principles Judicial review can be understood in the context of two distinct—but parallel—legal systems, civil law and common law, and also by two distinct theories of democracy regarding the manner in which government should be organized w ...
