Decision
[1] I have before me a grievance filed on behalf of the grievor dated October 12, 2012. During
the proceedings, the Union requested the Ministry to produce a copy of the Family
Responsibility Office’s Case Management System (“FCMS”) records for the client
involved in the incident that occurred on or around August 22, 2012. The Union has
requested that I issue an order to the Ministry directing it to produce the requested material.
[2] Having regard to the circumstances, the nature of the Union’s request and the submissions
of the parties, I find it appropriate to order the production of the requested material, with
the following conditions:
1. The FCMS records produced will be restricted to the client in issue for the period from
March 21 to September 14, 2012.
2. All personal information of the client, as defined by ss. 2(1) of the Freedom of
Information and Protection of Privacy Act, will be redacted.
3. The FCMS records produced to counsel for the Union shall be used by counsel for the
sole purpose of this proceeding and by the parties to this proceeding for the full and
fair disposition of the issues in this proceeding, and may not be otherwise disclosed or
produced to any other person. In particular, counsel for the Union shall not make any
additional copies of the records and shall not provide a copy of the records to the
grievor.
Dated at Toronto, Ontario this 12th day of December 2013.
Felicity D. Briggs, Vice-Chair
