BCCA addresses public right of access to “a record of a question”

On April 13th, the Court of Appeal for British Columbia held that a rubric for an undergraduate admissions test administered by UBC was excluded from British Columbia’s public sector access and privacy act as a “record of a question.” It interpreted this phrase purposely, as encompassing “anything that is inregral to the question such that disclosure would defeat the purpose of the question for future use.”
