Federal appeal | Administrative Law | Practice and procedure | Practice on appeal
Complainant alleged harassment against member of Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (Commissioner). Investigator upheld complaint. Commissioner successfully applied for judicial review. Confidentiality order made on consent of parties was rescinded by judge at hearing. Attorney General appealed regarding confidentiality order. Appeal dismissed as moot. Information Attorney General sought to keep confidential was no longer confidential. Judge’s decisions clearly identified complainant, alleged harasser and others who appeared before investigator. As Attorney General did not seek stay of judge’s order on confidentiality, there was no longer any live issue before court.
