The University of Windsor brought a motion for a publication ban and sealing order in an application for judicial review of a university adjudicator's decision finding the applicant committed sexual assault.
The motion sought to protect the identity of the complainant and other individuals who made complaints.
Applying the test from Sherman Estate, the court granted the publication ban and a modified sealing order, finding that court openness posed a serious risk to the important public interest of preserving the dignity of sexual assault complainants.
