CLASSIFICATION (PUBLICATIONS, FILMS AND COMPUTER GAMES) ACT 1995 - SECT 27B

27B—Council may assess likely classification of film or computer game

        (1)         This section applies if an application has been made under section 27A for the assessment of the likely classification of an unclassified film or an unclassified computer game.

        (2)         The Council may assess the classification that, in the opinion of the Council, the film or computer game would be likely to have if the film or computer game were classified, having regard to the material and information available to the Council when making the assessment.

        (3)         The Council may refuse to assess the likely classification of the film or computer game if the Council considers that the material and information available to the Council is insufficient (whether or not the Council has made a request under subsection (4)).

        (4)         The Council may request that applicant to give to the Council, within the period specified in the request, further information for the purpose of enabling the Council to deal with the application.

        (5)         The Council may decline to deal with the application, or decline to further deal with the application, until the information is given to the Council in accordance with the request.

        (6)         To avoid doubt, this section does not require the Council to obtain further information under subsection (4) for the purposes of the Council's assessment.
