Here are some recent links of note.
- Martin Felsky, Ontario Rules Amendments for July 2009 Contemplate E-Discovery. Martin gives the scoop on the pending Ontario civil rules amendments, which apparently will embed the concept of proportionality into Rule 1.04 and require parties to engage in discovery planning. (Ediscovery Canada)
- Jonathan C. Bond, Defining Disclosure in a Digital Age: Updating the Privacy Act for the Twenty-First Century. Mr. Bond argues for a new definition of “disclose” in the U.S. Privacy Act that would make clear that an agency discloses information when it makes it “substantially more accessible” than it had previously. Features a reflection on a recent claim for breach of privacy based on the publication of workplace insurance adjudication decisions. (George Washington Law Review 76:5)
- Lew McCreary, What was privacy? This is an in-depth article from this month’s Harvard Business Review. Senior editor McCreary encourages business to understand and manage privacy issues. He captures the most business-relevant aspects of the current dialogue on privacy very well. (Harvard Business Review)
What can I say for myself right now? Hugo’s almost a year and a half now and is pretty amazing. He’s right into growling at things he identifies as scary. He doesn’t always get it right though, which makes me laugh. Like yesterday he growled back at a rather harmless and sad looking stuffed penguin that another child had left abandoned in our local parkette. Anyway, we’ve got another quick surf trip on the horizon, which should get me feeling more human after a beautiful but brutally-windless early autumn in Southern Ontario.
See ya!
