Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from M.S.K. v. T.L.T., 2011 ONSC 5478 (CanLII):

Taylor, supra, on the need for the court to ensure that the public has confidence in the integrity of the judicial system, I am not persuaded that the public represented by the reasonably informed person would be satisfied that no use of confidential information would occur in the circumstances of the case before me.
