I was happy to participate in a workshop on employee surveillance at today’s OBA Second Annual Privacy Summit together with Peigi Ross of Dunsmore Law and John Stout of Cavalluzzo Hayes Shilton McIntyre & Cornish. We discussed some of the nuances relating to the necessity standard, whether the standard is (or should be) the same for workplace and operational privacy issues, what recent Order F07-18 of the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia might foretell and other surveillance-related topics. My notes are cryptic, but contain some case references, so I’ve posted them here.
Dan,
Thank you for speaking at the CLE Privacy Law seminar. I enjoyed your presentation, and I’ll be checking out this blog from now on!
