Sponsored by
The Honourable Robert Sharpe, Distinguished Jurist in Residence, Faculty of Law, University of Toronto and Member, Arbitration Place (Toronto, ON)
The Honourable Robert Sharpe, who recently retired from the Ontario Court of Appeal, will review the development of the common law privacy tort from its initial application of “intrusion upon seclusion” in Jones v. Tsige through to the courts’ adoption of all four of its potential categories. Mr. Sharpe also will provide some insight as to what he sees as the future scope of common law privacy remedies.
