May 2019 Charity & NFP Law Update
On November 2, 2018, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice delivered its decision in Jane Doe 72511 v Morgan confirming the privacy tort of public disclosure of private facts which had been previously recognized in Ontario in Jane Doe 464533 v N.D. (the “N.D. Case”). This decision reflects the increasing willingness of the civil courts, particularly in Ontario, to affirm the importance of privacy interests in emerging venues and platforms, particularly as the use of social media and online platforms becomes more prevalent.
