Episode Details

A Alberta judge is poised to decide whether confidential documents sent by fired AHS head Athana Mentzelopoulos to her personal email — part of her $1.7 million wrongful dismissal lawsuit — should be protected by solicitor-client privilege. The government and AHS argue the documents, containing sensitive business info, remain privileged even after being shared internally, while Mentzelopoulos’s team claims privilege was waived due to public investigations and her whistleblower role. Her lawyers urge the court to weigh public interest, especially as some documents may aid RCMP and Auditor General probes. A ruling expected soon could reshape the lawsuit and broader investigations.
