This law used to be about publishing something when invited to do so. It was part of the rules about crimes against reputation. However, this section of the law no longer exists. It was removed on 1 February 1993 by another law called the Defamation Act 1992. This means that the rules about publishing upon invitation that were once in this section are no longer in effect.
