PIPEDA Case Summary #2016-011: Defending against a civil lawsuit not considered a commercial activity
A psychiatrist
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) investigated a complaint regarding a psychiatrist's handling of a patient's personal information. The patient had requested access to his information following a medical assessment conducted as part of a civil lawsuit defence. However, the OPC determined that the psychiatrist's activities were not commercial in nature but were for the purpose of defending a lawsuit. As PIPEDA only applies to commercial activities, the OPC concluded it lacked jurisdiction to investigate the complaint.
