Illustration for Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993

You are dealing with a video recording that was sent to the Authority before a certain date. This video recording was sent under the Video Recordings Act 1987. If the Authority or the Video Recordings Board of Review is still looking at it, then this section applies to you. You need to know what happens to the video recording now. The Authority or the Video Recordings Board of Review will send the matter to the Classification Office. They will deal with it as if it was sent to them under section 13. The Classification Office will use the rules in the Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993, including Parts 4 and 5, to make a decision. The Authority or the Video Recordings Board of Review will send all the information they have about the video recording to the Classification Office. They will do this as soon as possible.
