1This Interim Decision addresses the applicant’s request for the production of an unredacted version of a third e-mail exchanged between the respondent and Great West Life (“GWL”). The applicant initially requested production of unredacted versions of two e-mails that were exchanged between the respondent and GWL about her application for short term disability (“STD”). I granted her request in Interim Decision 2016 HRTO 393.

2The two e-mails that the applicant initially requested were two of three emails that formed part of a complaint she filed with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. She is now requesting an unredacted version of the third e-mail.

3I grant her request for the reasons provided in Interim Decision 2016 HRTO 393 and because the third email forms part of a chain of e-mails with the other two e-mails addressed in my previous Interim Decision.

4By April 11, 2016, the respondent must produce to the applicant an unredacted version of the September 20, 2013 email sent by Mary Duncan to Laura Pratt, Monika Metts and Patty McDonald at 5:32 PM.

5The parties are once again reminded of Rule 3.3. of the Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure which states:

Parties and their representatives may not use documents obtained under these Rules for any purpose other than in the proceeding before the Tribunal.
