Geophysical Service Incorporated v. Canada-newfoundland & Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board, 2024 FC 1616
Justice Battista - 2024-10-11
Read full decision. Automatically generated summary:
The Applicant, GSI, seeks judicial review of the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board’s (C-NLOPB) decision to refuse the release of information pursuant to a request under the Access to Information Act. ... This application for judicial review is dismissed because I determine that the requested information is exempt from disclosure. ... The Applicant relies upon a definition of copyright whereby “[t]he question is whether or not the original work, or a substantial part thereof, has been reproduced”. ... It establishes a third party “reprocessing” or “doing additional work” on the data. I do not find this evidence sufficiently clear and probative to establish that these third parties reproduced the Applicant’s data such that it was the Applicant’s own, and thus had to be produced in response to the Request.
