\"FederalMichael Geist posts<\/a> about yesterday’s Federal Court decision<\/a> in respect of the Privacy Commissioner and investigations outside Canada.<\/p>\n

The issue was whether the Privacy Commissioner can investigate a case affecting a Canadian’s private information being collected and sold by a foreign company. The case was raised by Pippa Lawson of CIPPIC<\/a>. <\/p>\n

After protracted correspondence and discussion, on 18 November 2005 the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, through Heather Black, Assistant Privacy Commissioner, refused to investigate. Although the refusal deals with a number of issues, in essence the Privacy Commissioner was of the view that PIPEDA did not give her jurisdiction to investigate Ms. Lawson’s complaint. This is a judicial review of that decision, a decision which raises important questions about the extraterritorial effect of Canada’s laws and the jurisdiction of Canadian tribunals absent a real and substantial connection with this country.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Among other cases, the Court looked at SOCAN vs CAIP<\/a> where the Supreme Court said “To occur in Canada, a communication need not originate from a server located in Canada.”<\/p>\n

national practice confirms that either the country of transmission or the country of reception may take jurisdiction over a ‘communication’ link to its territory<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations to Pippa and CIPPIC for not letting go.<\/p>\n

Is there further applicability to having other Federal agencies examine their role governing the transmission of illegal content on the internet?<\/p>\n
