The third annual LSBC Rule of Law Lecture took place on Tuesday, June 25, 2019 at UBC Robson Square. The speakers addressed a number of subjects covered during our course, particularly “To Regulate or Not to Regulate?”, and how privacy law fits (or not) in a digital world. Given that the speakers were the Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin, former chief justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, and Richard Peck, QC., the perspectives shared were particularly thoughtful. Richard Peck’s succinct history of privacy law is masterful in illustrating its importance and it’s limitations in a digital context where contractual consent is so easily obtained.
