Summary

Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.

Dissatisfied with two decisions rendered by the Commission d’accès à l’information, the applicant, Heythem Bousnina, appealed those decisions to the Court of Québec. He later filed with the Court of Appeal a notice of appeal from the judgment rendered by the Court of Québec allowing an application by the respondent, Centre Médical Brunswick, for dismissal and for a declaration of abuse. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, since s. 69 of the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector provided that the decision of the Court of Québec judge was without appeal.
