The applicant sought judicial review of two decisions by the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board to release internal correspondence containing the names and contact information of its employees, arguing this was exempt personal and confidential information.
The Federal Court found that while the names were personal information, the respondent reasonably exercised its discretion to disclose them because they were publicly available on LinkedIn.
The applicant failed to establish that the records contained confidential commercial information or were protected by statutory privilege under the Accord Act.
The applications were dismissed.
