The Commissioner determined that if the Village could rely on subsection 18(1)(c) of LA FOIP it would be preventing access to information that would normally be available to the public pursuant to subsection 117(1)(a) of The Municipalities Act. Further, this would be contrary to subsection 4(b) of LA FOIP. Subsection 4(c) Existing rights preserved 4 This Act: … (c) does not limit the information otherwise available by law to a party to litigation; LA FOIP does not limit access to information otherwise available by law to parties to litigation.
