Wallace V. Friesen

Wallace v. Friesen is a legal case that addressed whether a person involved in a dispute has the right to access certain information or records. The case examined the balance between individual privacy rights and the public's interest in transparency. Ultimately, the court decided that, under specific circumstances, an individual is entitled to access relevant records, emphasizing that transparency needs to be maintained unless there are compelling reasons to restrict access. This case helps clarify how courts weigh privacy concerns against the public's right to information in legal and administrative contexts.
