Document Summary
On january 19, 2004, the city of london (city) passed an interim control by-law which effected a one-year freeze on all land development along the richmond street corridor between huron and. 2001, c. 25, to hold council and committee meetings in public. Rsj"s application was dismissed in first instance on the basis that the closed meetings in question fell within the statutory exception under s. 239(2)(e), allowing for a closed meeting when potential litigation is the subject matter under consideration. Having so concluded, the application judge found it unnecessary to deal with the city"s additional contention that the closed meetings were also authorized under s. 239(2)(f) because the subject matter under consideration was subject to solicitor-client privilege. In response to rsj"s appeal to the court of appeal for ontario, the city reiterated its claims to litigation privilege and solicitor-client privilege.
