How have courts dealt with allegations of bad faith in an application to obtain a transcript of a city council debate?

Alberta, Canada


The following excerpt is from Moffat v. Edmonton (City), 1978 CanLII 641 (AB QB):

The simple answer to this contention is that there is no evidence of bad faith before me. A companion application to obtain from the city and put in evidence a transcript of council’s debate, said to disclose extraneous considerations amounting to bad faith, was not pursued. The onus of proving such an allegation clearly rests upon the applicant: Kuchma v. Tache, 1945 CanLII 27 (SCC), [1945] S.C.R. 234, [1945] 2 D.L.R. 13.
