Subject: ODG: Intrusion upon Seclusion

 

Dear Colleagues:

 

In Obodo v. Trans Union of Canada, the Ontario Court of Appeal refused to extend the tort of Intrusion upon Seclusion to cover those whose fault allowed the intrusion, see https://www.canlii.org/en/on/onca/doc/2022/2022onca814/2022onca814.html.
