Privacy And Insurance In Canada, England, And France - How Does The Responsible Insurer Put Guidelines And Procedures In Place For Retaining And Destroying Personal Information, Christopher Whitehead

Canadian Journal of Law and Technology

Where I discuss Canada, I use the examples of the law of Ontario — which belongs to the English legal tradition —and of Quebec — whose private law belongs to the French legal tradition. As it happens, these are the two traditions with which I have the most experience relating to personal information.
