Kris Klein has authored several leading pieces dealing with privacy law, including:
The Klein & Kratchanov Report: The Canadian Source for Legal Developments in Privacy and Access
This newsletter synthesizes access and privacy legal developments in a pithy, clear, no-nonsense manner. The reader will be kept abreast of the latest case law, key access to information and privacy (ATIP) issues, and what these changes mean for the practitioner in a concise, ten-minute brief sent in print and electronically.
This is the only newsletter on the Canadian market that focuses on both access and privacy issues that is written by true professional insiders in the area. The authors provide only the most pertinent, timely information, highly selective updates on provincial/federal privacy commissioner decisions, federal/provincial court decisions, as well as breaking issues and key legislative developments.
The Law of Privacy in Canada
This work is a comprehensive and thorough treatment of the regulation of the collection and use of personal information in Canada. It is the only publication that includes everything lawyers and business professionals need to know about privacy, from privacy protection to tackling issues such as public surveillance to the Personal Information Protection and Electronics Documents Act (PIPEDA). While the work focuses primarily on the domestic regulatory scene, the factors that have made privacy such a salient topic have also mandated the inclusion of similar developments in the regulation of the collection and use of personal information in the European Union and, with Canada's major trading partner, the United States. Important areas of coverage include Technology and Privacy: Challenges and Solutions; Privacy Protection Under the Criminal Law; Privacy Protection in the Civil Context; Workplace Privacy; Health Privacy; Public Sector Regulation; Private Sector Regulation; and International Privacy Issues.
Privacy in Employment: Control of Personal Information in the Workplace
This publication is a practical guide to privacy issues in the Canadian workplace. It examines all aspects of an employer's acquisition, retention and dissemination of information about employees, while considering the competing interests at play in the employment relationship. It offers guidance to employers in establishing privacy-related policies and practices, and also serves as a valuable resource for employees who wish to challenge employer practices.
