Feedback & supportAmended
Last amended by an amending law of 2022.
(1)
A public act in relation to a work or protected performance is a permitted use.
(2)
As soon as practicable after a public act is done, the Government must —
(a)
inform the relevant rights owner in the prescribed manner; and
(b)
give the rights owner any information that the rights owner may reasonably require from time to time.
(3)
However, subsection (2) does not require the Government to do anything that it considers to be against the public interest.
