NATURE OF THE APPEAL:
BACKGROUND
This order sets out my decision on the reconsideration of Order MO-1448 issued June 28, 2001, and the disposition of Appeal Number MA-000366-2.
The Hamilton Police Services Board (the Police) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) from the appellant. The appellant sought access to records relating to an investigation into allegations of misconduct made against him.
The Police located records responsive to the request and denied access to all of them on the basis of section 52(3) of the Act, which states that the Act does not apply to certain employment-related records.
The appellant appealed the decision of the Police and this office opened Appeal MA-000366-1 (the first appeal) to deal with that matter.
Subsequently, former Adjudicator Dawn Maruno issued Order MO-1448 (the order), in which she found that section 52(3) does not apply, and thus the records are subject to the access provisions of the Act. The former adjudicator therefore ordered the Police to provide the appellant with a decision letter under the Act with respect to the records.
