- High Court
The application for access was dismissed because the requester was a private commercial actor whose asserted interest did not give open justice sufficient weight to override substantial privacy and confidentiality interests of non-parties and non-public-facing officials; additionally, inadvertent disclosure of privileged material did not waive privilege and the respondent was granted leave to redact and refile the affidavits.
