June 06, 2023
Stopping the Misuse of Non-Disclosure Agreements Act, 2023
  • This is a law called Bill 124, which was enacted in 2023 in the province of Ontario. It regulates the use of non-disclosure agreements in cases of discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment, and sexual assault. The law states that no one responsible for these actions or accused of them can enter into a non-disclosure agreement that hides the details of a complaint. However, there is an exception if the person who experienced the discrimination or assault wishes to enter into such an agreement. In that case, certain requirements must be met, such as the person receiving independent legal advice and the agreement not adversely affecting the health and safety of others or the public interest. The law also specifies that the agreement cannot apply to certain situations, such as disclosures required by other laws or communications with certain professionals. It is also prohibited for the responsible party to enter into a separate non-disclosure agreement with the person accused of the discrimination or assault to prevent an investigation. Non-compliance with the law renders the non-disclosure agreement invalid. The law also includes provisions regarding non-disparagement agreements and the non-disclosure of settlement amounts. Existing agreements are subject to certain modifications. Violation of the law is considered an offense, with fines imposed on individuals and corporations. The Lieutenant Governor in Council has the authority to make regulations related to the law. The law came into effect on the day it received Royal Assent and is known as the Stopping the Misuse of Non-Disclosure Agreements Act, 2023.
