Solicitor-Client Privilege at the OIPC:  An Update on Developments Since Alberta (IPC) v University of Calgary , 2016 SCC 53

In 2016, the Supreme Court of Canada determined that the Information and Privacy Commissioner did not have the jurisdiction under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act to compel a public body to produce records subject to solicitor-client privilege to the OIPC for review. This presentation summarizes that finding, but focusses on subsequent cases in Alberta which grapple with the right approach to dealing with solicitor-client privileged records in proceedings before the OIPC, and before the courts on judicial review from decisions of the OIPC.
