Gowlings was previously ordered by the Privacy Commissioner on December 12, 2016 to respond to the plaintiff's access request for her personal information containing, and relating to, her credit and financial personal information.
The plaintiff sought this personal information when she learned that Gowlings and its lawyers Taryn Burnett and Megan McMahon unlawfully obtained her credit report.
Gowlings eventually gave the plaintiff some of this information on February 10, 2017 but since then has once again refused to give the plaintiff the entirety of the credit and financial personal information she is entitled to have. The plaintiff requires the complete information for the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) complaint she is filing against Gowlings.
As reported in this earlier post, Gowlings took another opportunity to stall this privacy breach matter over the last two months.
The plaintiff will deal with this matter through the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner processes. Updates will appear on this blog.
