(a)
The 1983 amendment did not create copyright retro¬
spectively.
Consequently
there was no copyright in
the Butt-Cat plug, mould and hulls because they had been
made before 17 October 1983.
(b)
In any event, there could have been no infringement
of copyright before 17 October 1983.
(c)
By virtue of s. 43(a)(ii) of the Act, there was no
copyright in the Butt-Cat plug, mould and hulls
because such copyright did not subsist prior to
11 September 1965.
Schultz's counsel did not press submission (a)
with any conviction. ..
That was not surprising in view of
the provisions of s. 43 of the Act:
"43.
This Act shall apply in relation to
works made before the commencement
of this Act as it applies in relation
to works made thereafter,: provided that (a)
nothing in this Act contained shall (i)
(ii) be construed as creating any
copyright which did not sub¬
sist prior to 11 September
1965
"
