Illustration for Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993

When this law started, some decisions made under old film laws were still in effect. You need to know these decisions were made under the Cinematograph Films Act 1976 or similar old laws. This part of the law applies to those old decisions, as if they were made under the Films Act 1983, because of the Interpretation Act 1999.
