Jean-Marie Najm requested a judicial review of the decision to withhold a statement of account and an invoice, filed with Indigenous Services Canada (ISC), from disclosure under paragraph 20(1)(b) of the Access to Information Act (ATIA).
Court's Decision
The Federal Court dismissed Najm's application. The court found that the documents were exempt from disclosure under paragraph 20(1)(b) of the ATIA as they contained confidential financial information supplied to ISC and treated consistently in a confidential manner by the third party.
Outcome
The application for review was dismissed without costs.
