Performing Right Society Ltd v Boizot

Held

On its true construction, the licence provided that where the total of gross salaries, gross wages, fees, expenses or other emoluments paid to performers (other than disc jockeys); and gross fees (net of any value added tax) paid to third parties for the services of performers was £8,356 or more, the royalty due was 4 per cent of such expenditure. The percentage related to music that was both within and outside the PRS repertoire. Whether this was reasonable or not was a matter for the Copyright Tribunal. The appeal was dismissed.
