Illustration for Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993

When you have a case about films in the High Court or Court of Appeal, a special rule applies. This rule is from the Acts Interpretation Act 1924, section 22. It helps with cases that started under the Films Act 1983 and are still happening when this new rule begins.
