August 16, 2012
Previously published on April 2012
In Jones v. Tsige, 2012 ONCA 32, the Court of Appeal for Ontario issued the first definitive statement from a Canadian appellate court that there is a common law right of action for intrusion upon seclusion, or invasion of personal privacy. The elements of the new tort are defined by reference to the Restatement (Second) of Torts (2010), following the approach taken by American and Australian courts.
