How have courts and tribunals treated personal information privacy concerns?

In balancing the public interest in open courts, including public access to decisions of courts and tribunals, against an individual’s interests in privacy, the Superior Court of Justice, in the case of Toronto Star v. AG Ontario, 2018 ONSC 2586 held: The open court principle is the fundamental one and the personal information and privacy concerns are secondary to it. That principle directs administrative tribunals to protect confidentiality only where a party seeking it establishes that it is necessary to protect important interests.
