Part 6Remedies for infringement
Infringing file sharing
122LDecisions generally made on papers and without hearing
Proceedings before the Tribunal for an order under section 122O must be determined on the papers unless—
- any party to the proceedings requests a hearing; or
- the Tribunal considers that a hearing should be held.
The papers on which the proceedings are determined are—
- the rights owner's application to the Tribunal; and
- copies of the infringement notices sent to the account holder; and
- copies of challenges to any infringement notice, and any responses to those challenges; and
- any additional information provided by the rights owner; and
- any submissions by the account holder made within the time specified by the Tribunal.
The Tribunal may determine its own procedure for determining an application that is dealt with on the papers, subject to any regulations.
The Tribunal must make all reasonable efforts to ensure that, unless it orders otherwise or an order is made against the account holder, the identity and contact details of the account holder are not disclosed to the rights owner.
