Legal information related to PIPEDA

Recent Court Activity

In overseeing compliance with PIPEDA and the Privacy Act, the OPC is sometimes involved in judicial proceedings as a party, as an added party, or as an intervener, to seek enforcement of the Acts, and/or to assist courts in advancing the legal interpretation and application of the Acts. The OPC sometimes intervenes in foreign judicial proceedings, where appropriate, in order to influence the evolution of decisions that have the potential of affecting the privacy rights of Canadians, particularly where trans-border data flows are involved.

This section provides an update of recent judicial decisions of significant importance for the interpretation of PIPEDA or the Privacy Act, including proceedings to which the OPC was a party.
