Responsibility for publication of prohibited image

 

Mr Edward Garnier

 

Mr Henry Bellingham

 

Jeremy Wright

 

NC35

 

To move the following Clause:—

 

‘(1)    

A person has a defence if—

 

(a)    

he was not the author, editor or publisher of the prohibited image,

 

(b)    

he took reasonable care in relation to its publication, and

 

(c)    

he did not know, and had no reason to believe, that what he did caused or

 

contributed to the publication of the prohibited image.


 
 

Notices of Amendments: 19 February 2009                  

145

 

Coroners and Justice Bill, continued

 
 

(2)    

For this purpose “author”, “editor” and “publisher” have the following meanings,

 

which are futher explained in subsection (3)—

 

“author” means the originator of the image, but does not include a person

 

who did not intend that an image originated by him be published at all;

 

“editor” means a person having editorial or equivalent responsibility for the

 

content of the image or the decision to publish it; and

 

“publisher” means a commercial publisher, that is, a person whose business

 

is issuing material to the public, or a section of the public, who issues

 

material containing the image in the course of that business.

 

(3)    

A person shall not be considered the author, editor or publisher of an image if he

 

is only involved—

 

(a)    

in printing, producing, distributing or selling printed material containing

 

the image;

 

(b)    

in processing, making copies of, distributing, exhibiting or selling a film

 

or sound recording (as defined in Part I of the [1988 c. 48] Copyright,

 

Designs and Patents Act 1988) containing the image;

 

(c)    

in processing, making copies of, distributing or selling any electronic

 

medium in or on which the image is recorded, or in operating or

 

providing any equipment, system or service by means of which the

 

statement is retrieved, copied, distributed or made available in electronic

 

form;

 

(d)    

as the broadcaster of a live programme containing the image in

 

circumstances in which he has no effective control over the maker of the

 

image;

 

(e)    

as the operator of or provider of access to a communications system by

 

means of which the image is transmitted, or made available, by a person

 

over whom he has no effective control.

 

    

In a case not within paragraphs (a) to (e) the court may have regard to those

 

provisions by way of analogy in deciding whether a person is to be considered the

 

author, editor or publisher of a statement.

 

(4)    

Employees or agents of an author, editor or publisher are in the same positions as

 

their employer or principal to the extent that they are responsible for the content

 

of the image or the decision to publish it.

 

(5)    

In determining for the purposes of this section whether a person took reasonable

 

care, or had reason to believe that what he did caused or contributed to the

 

publication of a prohibited image, regard shall be had to—

 

(a)    

the extent of his responsibility for the content of the image or the decision

 

to publish it,

 

(b)    

the nature or circumstances of the publication, and

 

(c)    

the previous conduct or character of the author, editor or publisher.

 

(6)    

This section does not apply to any publication which arose before the section

 

came into force.

 

(7)    

For the avoidance of doubt, the burden of proving or disproving, as the case may

 

be, any of the facts or matters in subsections (1) to (6) above is on the

 

prosecution.’.
