| Report: | A-2024-059 |
| Report Date: | December 18, 2024 |
| Public Body: | Labour Relations Board |
| Summary: | The Complainant made an access to information request to the Labour Relations Board seeking records about the Board posting two of its decisions in the public domain. The Board provided the Complainant with two emails to the Canadian Legal Information Institute attaching its decisions for publication on that website and advised the Complainant the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 2015 did not apply to further records as they fell under section 5(1)(b) as notes, communications, or draft decisions of a person acting in a quasi-judicial capacity. Upon investigation, it was determined that the Board had corresponded with the Office of the Chief Information Officer about posting decisions on its website, but those emails had been deleted. The Commissioner concluded that the Board had properly applied section 5(1)(b), that it had conducted a reasonable search, and that it had generally met its duty to assist the Complainant. |
