CATEGORY C1: COPYRIGHT TREATIES
The Statute Law Revision Programme considers the instruments in this category to be suitable for revocation.
This category consists of orders giving effect to copyright treaties entered into by the then-United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The instruments were made pursuant to section 2 of the International Copyright Act 1844 (7 & 8 Vict.) c. 12.[i]
The Statute Law Revision Programme consulted with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and the Intellectual Property Office of Ireland on the instruments in this category. The Department and the Intellectual Property Office agreed that the instruments were suitable for revocation.
Please note that spellings are recorded as they appear in the original print versions of the London Gazette and have not been standardised or modernised. The wording of the subject matter of instruments is not final and is subject to change.

[i] Although the International Copyright Act 1844 was repealed by section 36 of the Copyright Act 1911 (1 & 2 Geo. 5) c. 46, section 32 of the Copyright Act 1911 also provided that ‘His Majesty in Council may make Orders for altering, revoking or varying any Order in Council made […] under any enactments repealed by this Act’. This suggests that orders made under repealed enactments were not disenabled by the 1911 Act. As a result, they remain in force and require formal revocation.
