Case Background:

• Tamara James appealed a Federal Court decision that dismissed her application under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
• Her appeal concerned a complaint to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner against Amazon for denying access to her personal information?.

Key Issues:

• The complaint was discontinued as Amazon's denial was due to an inability to verify James' identity, deemed fair and reasonable by the Commissioner?.
• The Federal Court agreed that Amazon had not violated James' rights under PIPEDA as it couldn't verify her identity?.
• James' allegation that her inability to access information was due to its inaccuracy was rejected due to lack of evidence.
• The court found that the response timeframe under PIPEDA did not begin until Amazon confirmed James' identity?.

Appeal Issues:

• James raised issues regarding new issues allegedly raised by the Federal Court, violation of Principle 9 (individual access to information), and limitations under Principle 6 (accuracy of information).
• The court found no errors in law or palpable errors in these issues.
• Evidence in Ms. James' affidavit (Exhibit H) was deemed insufficient to support her argument??.
• The Federal Court's conclusion on the insufficiency of James' evidence was considered appropriate?.
• Allegations of bias in the Federal Court's analysis were rejected?.

Court's Conclusion:

• The Federal Court saw no error in its finding that Amazon did not violate Principle 9, as sufficient doubt existed about James' identity?.
• The court also found the evidence insufficient to support James' allegation about inaccuracies in her information.

Costs:

• The appeal was dismissed with all-inclusive costs of $500.
