Shaun E. Finn, Co-Author of In the Public Eye: Privacy, Personal Information, and High Stakes Litigation in the Canadian Public Sector

With Danielle Miller Olofsson, our partner Shaun E. Finn has co-authored a new book on Canada’s rapidly evolving privacy and personal information law.

Published by LexisNexis, In the Public Eye: Privacy, Personal Information, and High Stakes Litigation in the Canadian Public Sector offers practical measures to help public sector entities avoid or mitigate the consequences of class action litigation.

This book is particularly relevant in the wake of COVID-19 restrictions and the privacy issues that arise from the collection of health data. It is intended for public sector decision-makers, privacy experts, practitioners, in-house counsel, judges, and law students alike.

In addition to suggesting practical tools to mitigate possible damages in these areas, the authors address:

• the legislative regimes applicable to the personal information protection of in the public sector and to class actions;
• governance issues that recent legislation and technology have rendered imperative;
• operational challenges posed by present current and emerging technologies; and
• concepts of privacy and personal information that are ever evolving.
