Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tort that is specifically related to interference with a person's privacy and recognized in Canadian common law is intrusion upon seclusion. This tort was first recognized by the Ontario Court of Appeal in the case of Jones v. Tsige in 2012, and has since been adopted by other Canadian provinces. Defamation, nuisance, and interference with privacy may involve some aspects of privacy, but do not specifically address the same type of invasion as intrusion upon seclusion. "Invasion of privacy" may also be a commonly used term, but it is not the specific legal term used for this tort in Canadian law.
