Confidentiality In Ontario Agreements

Summary

Confidentiality clauses are often included in legal agreements in Ontario to protect sensitive information. However, court orders, including those related to disclaimers, are not automatically confidential unless a sealing order is explicitly issued by the court. Sealing orders require a compelling justification, such as preventing coercion or protecting privacy, and are not guaranteed. To request a sealing order, a motion must be filed with evidence demonstrating the need for confidentiality. Consult a lawyer for guidance on presenting a strong case for a sealing order.
