1991 No. 451 COPYRIGHT (INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION) REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT) - REG 8

  8.1   After regulation 11, insert:
Modification of application of provisions of the Act to sound broadcasts and
television broadcasts

"12. (1) If a person has, at any time before the commencement of this
regulation, taken action by which he or she has incurred expenditure or
liability in connection with the doing of an act in relation to a sound
broadcast, or to a television broadcast, in a manner that at the time was
lawful, or for the purpose of or with a view to the doing of an act in
relation to a sound broadcast, or to a television broadcast, at a time when
the doing of the act would, but for the making of this regulation, have been
lawful, nothing in these Regulations diminishes or prejudices any right or
interest arising in connection with the action that is subsisting and valuable
immediately before the commencement of this regulation unless the person who,
by virtue of the operation of these Regulations, has the exclusive right to do
the act agrees to pay reasonable compensation to the first-mentioned person.

"(2) If:

   (a)  by an amendment of these Regulations the name of a country is included
        in Part IV of Schedule 1; and

   (b)  a person has, at any time before the date on which the amendment comes
        into operation, taken action by which he or she has incurred
        expenditure or liability in connection with the doing of an act in
        relation to a sound broadcast, or to a television broadcast, in a
        manner that at the time was lawful, or for the purpose of or with a
        view to the doing of an act in relation to a sound broadcast, or to a
        television broadcast, at a time when the doing of the act would, but
        for the amendment, have been lawful; nothing in these Regulations
        diminishes or prejudices any right or interest arising in connection
        with the action that is subsisting and valuable immediately before the
        commencement of the amendment unless the person who, by virtue of the
        country being included in Part IV of Schedule 1, has the exclusive
        right to do the act agrees to pay reasonable compensation to the
        first-mentioned person.

"(3) For the purposes of subregulation (2), if:

   (a)  Part IV of Schedule 1 is remade; and

   (b)  on the remaking, the name of a country is included in the Part; and

   (c)  immediately before the remaking, the name of the country was not
        included in the Part: the remaking of the Part is taken to be an
        amendment of these Regulations that inserts the name of the country in
        Part IV.". (NOTE: Regulation 12 commenced on 1 January 1992.)
