Breach of confidentiality clauses

By Kevin Sambrano, Sambrano Legal Services | 3 Minutes Read May 28, 2014

Non-disclosure clauses in human rights settlements: Understand them before you sign on the dotted line

At the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (the “Tribunal”), a settlement is sometimes reached without having to resort to a hearing. If so, parties will sign a “Minutes of Settlement” agreement, which will almost always contain a non-disclosure clause outlining what can be said, if anything, in regard to the settlement. In the event that a party breaches the non-disclosure agreement, they may find themselves returning to the Tribunal sooner than expected.
