# The Copyright (Hong Kong) (Amendment) Order 1979, Note: Explanatory note


This Order amends the Copyright (Hong Kong) Order 1972 (by which, with certain modifications and exceptions, the provisions of the Copyright Act 1956 were extended to Hong Kong) so as to extend to Hong Kong, again with certain modifications and exceptions, those provisions of the Act relating to the establishment and jurisdiction of the Performing Right Tribunal.
The effect of the amendments is to establish a Performing Right Tribunal in and for Hong Kong, with a jurisdiction broadly similar to that of the United Kingdom tribunal. Members of the Hong Kong tribunal will be appointed by the Governor.
