Medical negligence case. At para 28 the court says "The defendant has not indicated the material fact or facts which it believes can be proved by searching the plaintiff’s personal computer and her social media sites. Rather, the defendant merely says that health, enjoyment of life and employability are in issue. Surely more is or should be required to meet the test of Rule 7-1(1)(a)(i) than just saying a particular matter is in issue in order to infringe on a litigant’s privacy."

The defendant in this motor vehicle accident seeks photographs from the plaintiff's Facebook page including date of the picture and any comments associated with the picture. Defendant also seeks photographs and any metadata associated with digital photographs. The Master decided that the photographs and the dates were relevant to the allegation that the accident had led to lost mobility and diminished capacity. However, the comments attached to the photos in Facebook were excluded because "the probative value of this information is outweighed by the competing interest of protecting the private thoughts of the plaintiff and third parties".

The action arises from a dog attack on the plaintiff. This is a motion by the defendant requesting all MySpace and Facebook pages for the 3 plaintiffs, four weeks before trial and more than 5 years since the incident. Original discoveries took place 4 years ago, and no request was made at that time for photos or for MySpace documents (which by this point was in use by young people). Based on the closeness of the trial, and the fact that the plaintiff does not explain how the Facebook and MySpace photos would be relevant to the matters at issue, the court dismissed the motion.

A short survey of the case law related to production of information from Facebook. The plaintiff had testified on her discoveries that her physical activities were limited by her injuries, but stated she was unsure if her Facebook pictures would show her engaged in activities she had sworn were affected by her injuries. Access to her Facebook photographs is limited, and defendant sought an order of production of any pictures showing her engaged in any of these activities since the accident. The court dismissed the plaintiff's argument that her privacy concerns should be sufficient to prevent production.
