- HCAL96/2007
Interim classifications in the identified matters were quashed because the Tribunal failed to apply s.10 guidance and substantive statutory requirements: it incorrectly treated submissions comprising multiple distinct articles as single articles and failed to make a manifest identification of the part(s) causing indecency/obscenity as required by s.14(3)(c); the non‑statutory records did not evidence proper deliberation or identification by a majority, rendering the interim classifications void.
