The complainant challenged the Department of Justice Canada's decision to withhold a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for legal services, citing section 23 (Legal advice and litigation privilege) of the Access to Information Act. The Department could not demonstrate that the entire MOU, including its title and signature blocks, was protected by solicitor-client privilege. Furthermore, the Department had waived privilege over some information within the MOU. The Information Commissioner found the complaint well-founded.
