A CRA employee for a time accessed various taxpayers' records out of curiosity (a practice for which he was dismissed.) He did not especially target the taxpayer, did not remember specifically doing so and, in any event, did not retain any information he may have learned, or disseminate it. As he was not aware that his conduct was likely to harm her (and he did not act with the express purpose of harming her), the tort of misfeasance in public office was not made out (para. 54).
