Report Date: |
April 28, 2010 |

Public Body: |
Memorial
University of Newfoundland and Labrador

Summary: |
The applicant
applied to Memorial University
("Memorial") under the Access to
Information and Protection of Privacy
Act (the "ATIPPA") for access
to a group of e-mails in which the
applicant was referenced, sent or
received by a named member of the
university community during a specified
time. Memorial provided a number of
records to the applicant. However, it
was the applicant's view that the
original search, for deleted messages in
particular, was only partial. The
applicant made a Request for Review to
this Office asking that the search be
repeated. The Commissioner determined
that Memorial had conducted a reasonable
search and that it was technically
impossible to retrieve the deleted
messages. Therefore the Commissioner
made no recommendation. |
