Legal Question in Personal Injury in Canada
Privacy act pertaining to discovery in a civil litigation case
My medical records were shown to a Human Resources Manager and a President of a branch that I am still a legal employee of that I am suing for harassment and bullying.
Why would my personal medical records be shown to anyone other than legal counsel and has my rights been violated under the Privacy Act?

Re: Privacy act pertaining to discovery in a civil litigation case
Privacy Legislation and judicial interpretation of it varies in each Province; you must consult a lawyer in your own Province. You may also call the Information & Privacy Commissioner's office (who may be known by a different title in your Province)and ask the question - often these offices are very helpful.
