Comment on the Proposition de Fuoco decision – The criteria for a provable claim and the debt resulting from the legal warranty of quality
The authors comment on a recent decision of the Court of Appeal at the interlocutory stage of a matter involving bankruptcy and contractual obligations.

On June 21, 2022, the Court of Appeal for Ontario rendered a decision concerning the extent of employees’ reasonable expectation of privacy in the workplace. The Court of Appeal decided inter alia that the protection against unreasonable search or seizure under section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms applies to employees of a public education institution. The Court also found that employees could have a reasonable expectation of privacy in respect of a communication that did not contain personal or intimate information directly concerning them, but information concerning their opinion of others. In March of this year, the Supreme Court of Canada granted leave to appeal this decision. The forthcoming judgment will definitely have an effect on how much leeway employers have to access their employees’ communications in connection with a workplace investigation.
