The Ombudsman investigated a special closed meeting held by the Grey Bruce Health Unit’s Board of Health on May 12, 2021, as well as a closed meeting held by the Board’s Executive Committee on May 10, 2021. At both meetings, legal advice was received from solicitors about a letter the Health Unit had received from a lawyer threatening litigation. The confidential legal advice received was about the appropriate steps to be taken in response to the letter, as well as litigation strategy. A third-party consultant was also present at both meetings. However, the Ombudsman found that the third-party consultant provided insights that supplemented, and were informed by, the legal advice given by the solicitors. The presence of the third-party consultant therefore did not constitute waiver of solicitor-client privilege. Accordingly, the discussions of the Board of Health and the Executive Committee fit within the exception for advice subject to solicitor-client privilege.
