The applicant appealed an order of a Prothonotary dismissing his motion under Rules 317 and 318 of the Federal Courts Rules for the production of records generated during an access to information request but withheld on the basis of irrelevance and duplication.
The underlying application was a review under section 41 of the Access to Information Act.
The Federal Court found no palpable and overriding error or error of law in the Prothonotary's determination that the requested records were not producible under Rules 317 and 318 in a section 41 application.
The Court also rejected the applicant's allegations of procedural unfairness and bias against the Prothonotary, dismissing the appeal with costs.
