The moving parties brought an ex parte motion for an interim injunction to suspend the coming into force of provisions in Bill 97 that would exempt the Premier's cell phone call logs from disclosure under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
The moving parties argued that the legislation violated section 2(b) of the Charter and that the records might be destroyed.
The court dismissed the motion, finding no arguable case, no irreparable harm, and that the balance of convenience favoured the government.
The court awarded costs of $1,500 to the Attorney General.
