What personal details have been disclosed in a personal injury case?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Wiseau Studio, LLC et al. v. Harper et al., 2020 ONSC 2504 (CanLII):

Wiseau has failed to make out the elements of the tort in this case. No personal details of the kind referred to in Jones v. Tsige were disclosed by the defendants. Rather, what was disclosed was Wiseau’s birthplace, his birthdate, and the name he was given at birth and had as a child in Poland. This information was available from public sources, which is how the defendants obtained and confirmed it. Wiseau may be sensitive about this information because he has cultivated an aura of mystery around it, but disclosure of these facts is not, objectively speaking, something which can be described as “highly offensive.”
