The following excerpt is from ALS Society of Essex County v. Corp. of the City of Windsor, CV-08-12004, 2017 ONSC 310 (CanLII):
Sierra Club of Canada v. Canada (Minister of Finance), 2002 SCC 41, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 522, holds that a confidentiality order should only be granted where it is necessary to prevent a serious risk to an important interest, which includes the right of a civil litigant to request a confidentiality order to ensure a fair trial, and whether that right outweighs the open court principle.
