Book excerpt: Revision of the legislation may amount to a relaunching of the tort of invasion of privacy in the province. [...] Although the court found that the hospital had breached a statutory duty to maintain the confidentiality of medical records,18 it found no violation of The Privacy Act: On the facts as presented, it cannot be said the hospital "wilfully and without claim of right" violated the privacy of the plaintiff. [...] The Attorney General of the province explained that the legislation was "worded in such a way as to leave the legal definition of privacy in a specific case to the discretion of the court." See British Columbia Law Institute, Consultation Paper on the Privacy Act of British Columbia (July 2007) at 4, n 15. [...] The tort of invasion of privacy: Theory and practice Although legislators have recently favoured the comprehensive code approach of statutes such as The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, the potential value of a general tort of invasion of privacy has once again begun to be recognized. [...] In Roth v Roth, an Ontario court similarly found harassment to be an actionable invasion of privacy, holding that "whether the invasion of privacy of an individual will be actionable will depend on the circumstances of the particular case and the conflicting rights involved."53 In January, 2012, the Ontario Court of Appeal confirmed the existence of the tort of intrusion upon seclusion (invasion o.

Download or read book International Intelligence Cooperation and Accountability written by Hans Born and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-01-17 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how international intelligence cooperation has come to prominence post-9/11 and introduces the main accountability, legal and human rights challenges that it poses. Since the end of the Cold War, the threats that intelligence services are tasked with confronting have become increasingly transnational in nature – organised crime, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and terrorism. The growth of these threats has impelled intelligence services to cooperate with contemporaries in other states to meet these challenges. While cooperation between certain Western states in some areas of intelligence operations (such as signals intelligence) is longstanding, since 9/11 there has been an exponential increase in both their scope and scale. This edited volume explores not only the challenges to accountability presented by international intelligence cooperation but also possible solutions for strengthening accountability for activities that are likely to remain fundamental to the work of intelligence services. The book will be of much interest to students of intelligence studies, security studies, international law, global governance and IR in general.
Download or read book Class Actions in Privacy Law written by Ignacio N. Cofone and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Class actions in privacy law are rapidly growing as a legal vehicle for citizens around the world to hold corporations liable for privacy violations. Current and future developments in these class actions stand to shift the corporate liability landscape for companies that interact with people’s personal information. Privacy class actions are at the intersection of civil litigation, privacy law, and data protection. Developments in privacy class actions raise complex issues of substantive law as well as challenges to the established procedures governing class action litigation. Their outcomes are integral to the evolution of privacy law and data protection law across jurisdictions. This book brings together established scholars in privacy law, data protection law, and collective litigation to offer a detailed perspective on the present and future of collective litigation for privacy claims. Taking a comparative approach, this book incorporates considerations from consumer protection law, procedural law, cross-border litigation, tort law, and data protection law, which are key to understanding the development of privacy class actions. In doing so, it offers an analysis of the novel challenges they pose for courts, regulatory agencies, scholars, and litigators, together with their potential solutions.
Download or read book Brokering Access written by Mike Larsen and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2012-08-10 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the business of public officials any of the public’s business? Most Canadians would argue that it is – that we citizens are entitled to enquire and get answers about our government’s actions. Yet, on a practical level, there still exists a struggle between the public’s quest for accountability and the government’s culture of secrecy. Drawing together the unique perspectives of social scientists, journalists, and access to information (ATI) advocates, Brokering Access explores the history of ATI law and supplies multiple examples of its contemporary application at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels. From restrictions to access of airport security data post-9/11 to censorship under the Access to Information Act to the difficulties of obtaining details on streetscape video surveillance, this book reveals the legal and bureaucratic obstacles citizens face when trying to access government information.
Download or read book Privacy Impact Assessment written by David Wright and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtually all organisations collect, use, process and share personal data from their employees, customers and/or citizens. In doing so, they may be exposing themselves to risks, from threats and vulnerabilities, of that data being breached or compromised by negligent or wayward employees, hackers, the police, intelligence agencies or third-party service providers. A recent study by the Ponemon Institute found that 70 per cent of organisations surveyed had suffered a data breach in the previous year. Privacy impact assessment is a tool, a process, a methodology to identify, assess, mitigate or avoid privacy risks and, in collaboration with stakeholders, to identify solutions. Contributors to this book – privacy commissioners, academics, consultants, practitioners, industry representatives – are among the world’s leading PIA experts. They share their experience and offer their insights to the reader in the policy and practice of PIA in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States and elsewhere. This book, the first such on privacy impact assessment, will be of interest to any organisation that collects or uses personal data and, in particular, to regulators, policy-makers, privacy professionals, including privacy, security and information officials, consultants, system architects, engineers and integrators, compliance lawyers and marketing professionals. In his Foreword, surveillance studies guru Gary Marx says, “This state-of-the-art book describes the most comprehensive tool yet available for policy-makers to evaluate new personal data information technologies before they are introduced.” This book could save your organisation many thousands or even millions of euros (or dollars) and the damage to your organisation’s reputation and to the trust of employees, customers or citizens if it suffers a data breach that could have been avoided if only it had performed a privacy impact assessment before deploying a new technology, product, service or other initiative involving personal data.
