The Federal Court of Appeal has issued its decision in the Englander case. The case involves the first PIPEDA complaint, which focused on the $2 charge for an unlisted phone number. The court overturned a lower court decision, ruling that the consent obtained by Telus was insufficient for several uses. The court also engaged in a detailed discussion of the purpose and interpretation of PIPEDA.
