She describes the reasons why the court regards the recorder as a mere component of the vehicle rather than a personal device, notes factors such as the impersonal and transient nature of the data and its limited duration, and discusses practical implications for the conduct of search and seizure in motor vehicle accident investigations.
Jaime Rivera-Campos delivers a presentation on the recent Working for Workers Four and Five Acts, which introduce enhanced transparency and record-keeping for publicly advertised job postings, require interview feedback to combat ghost postings, remove the ability to demand doctor’s notes for sick leave, expand telework protections under the Occupational Health and Safety Act and increase maximum penalties for Employment Standards Act violations to one hundred thousand dollars. He explores how these amendments intersect with obligations under the Human Rights Code and offers guidance on updating workplace policies, drafting compliant job advertisements and managing leave and accommodation requests to reduce legal risk.
