That violation, held the court, could not be saved by section 1 of the Charter, because it allowed unfettered and unrestricted access to people’s most personal and intimate information, and because it allowed the state almost unlimited latitude to dig around in the what the court called our “biographical core of identity.” The powerful judgment was written by Madame Justice Ritu Khullar, would would go on to become Alberta's chief justice.
