Nova Scotia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Nova Scotia Provincial Judges' Association v. Nova Scotia (Attorney General), 2022 NSSC 93 (CanLII):

Karakatsanis J concluded that public interest immunity did not bar the production of the government-wide implications and communications plan as part of the Record. After stating that several of the factors identified in Carey v. Ontario, 1986 CanLII 7 (SCC), [1986] 2 S.C.R. 637 weighed in favour of those parts of remaining confidential, she concluded that “the exclusion of these components of the Attorney General’s report from the record would impact the reviewing court’s ability to determine the merits of the Bodner review”. (para. 69). The “Government-Wide Implications” Section of the R & R
