Is there a privacy interest being asserted by amicus on the mother's behalf?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from W.A.C. v. C.V. F., 2021 ONSC 6894 (CanLII):
But the privacy interest being asserted by amicus on the mother’s behalf (and by the mother herself via her filings) goes beyond just that personal sphere. Her personal concerns also overlap with an important public interest. See Sherman Estate v. Donovan ¶ 47.
The mother is a person with a disability. Courts have previously recognized and protected from dissemination sensitive information related to stigmatized medical conditions. See Sherman Estate v. Donovan ¶ 77.
