What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

Section 30 of the United Kingdom's Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 is not among the provisions the Copyright (Cayman Islands) Order 2015's Schedule excludes or modifies, so it extends to the Cayman Islands as part of Part 1's general extension.

Fair dealing with a work for criticism or review, or for reporting current events, does not infringe copyright provided it is accompanied by a sufficient acknowledgement, except that no acknowledgement is required for reporting current events by sound recording, film or broadcast where this would be impracticable.

A separate quotation exception permits using a quotation from a work that has been made available to the public, for criticism, review or otherwise, provided the quotation is no longer than the specific purpose requires and is accompanied by a sufficient acknowledgement.
