The applicant, City of Toronto Economic Development Corporation (TEDCO), sought judicial review of a decision by the Information and Privacy Commissioner/Ontario (IPC) which found that TEDCO was deemed to be part of the City of Toronto under subsection 2(3) of the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
The IPC had ordered the City to obtain records from TEDCO responsive to a freedom of information request.
The Divisional Court quashed the IPC's decision, holding that the adjudicator erred in interpreting the term 'officers' in subsection 2(3) to include 'directors'.
The Court found that TEDCO, incorporated under the Business Corporations Act, is not subject to the Act.
