The table below is arranged by sections of the Freedom of Information & Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA). We have listed for each section orders that contain significant discussion of that section. Please note that we have not necessarily listed every order that discusses a particular section. 

This table has been amended to reflect 1996 re-numbering of certain sections in FIPPA. An asterisk (*) indicates the order was the subject of an application for judicial review.  Click here to view a table of judicial reviews.  Orders that are in bold type indicate that the order contains extensive discussion of the section in question. These orders are highlighted for convenience only. Each case is decided on its facts and other orders may also be relevant to your situation.
