Copyright Tribunal
The Act establishes the Copyright Tribunal as a continuation of the tribunal established under s. 23 of the 1956 Act (s. 145). The Tribunal is empowered (s. 149) to hear and determine proceedings concerning:
- copyright licencing schemes;
- royalties for rental of sound recordings, films or computer programs;
- licences made available as of right under s. 144 (powers of the Monopolies and Mergers Commission under the Fair Trading Act 1973 c. 41);
- the refusal of a performer to give consent under his rights in performances;
- royalties under the perpetual copyright of "Peter Pan" (see below).
An appeal on any point of law lies to the High Court, or to the Court of Session under Scots law.
