Register of Certificated Video Works.
|
14.—(1) The Official Censor shall establish and maintain a register in the prescribed form (which shall be known as the Register of Certificated Video Works and is referred to in this section as the register) of video works in respect of which a supply certificate is for the time being in force.
|
|
| |
(2) The Official Censor may, as occasion requires, amend or delete an entry in the register.
|
|
| |
(3) (a) Members of the public may inspect the register free of charge at all reasonable times and may take copies of, or of extracts from, entries in the register.
|
|
| |
(b) In any proceedings a certificate signed by the Official Censor or by a person authorised by him and stating—
|
|
| |
(i) that he has examined the register and a video work (or part of a video work) contained in a video recording identified by the certificate, and
|
|
| |
(ii) that the register shows that on the date or during the period specified in the certificate a supply certificate was not in force in respect of the work,
|
|
| |
shall be admissible as evidence of the fact that a supply certificate was not in force in respect of the work on the date or, as the case may be, during the period aforesaid.
|
|
| |
(c) A certificate under paragraph (b) of this subsection may also state—
|
|
| |
(i) that the video work concerned differs in such respects as may be specified in the certificate from another video work examined by the person signing the certificate and identified by the certificate, and
|
|
| |
(ii) that the register shows that, on a date specified in the certificate under the said paragraph (b), a supply certificate was granted in respect of that other work,
|
|
| |
and, if it does so, shall be admissible as evidence of the fact that the work concerned differs in those respects from that other work.
|
|
| |
(d) In any proceedings a certificate signed by the Official Censor or by a person authorised by him and stating—
|
|
| |
(i) that he has examined the register and a video work contained in a video recording identified by the certificate, and
|
|
| |
(ii) that the register shows that on the date or during the period specified in the certificate a supply certificate was in force in respect of the work, and
|
|
| |
(iii) that a document identified by and attached to the certificate is a copy of the supply certificate in force as aforesaid,
|
|
| |
shall be admissible as evidence of the fact that a supply certificate was in force in respect of the work on the date or, as the case may be, during the period aforesaid and of the terms of the supply certificate.
|
|
| |
(e) A document purporting to be a certificate under paragraph (b) or (d) of this subsection shall be deemed to be such a certificate, and to have been signed by the person purporting to have signed it (and, in the case of such a document purporting to have been signed by a person authorised by the Official Censor, to have been signed in accordance with the authorisation), unless the contrary is shown.
