‘The classification requirements imposed by the Video Recording Acts are lawful, the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division) has ruled, on 14 November 2014, in R v Dryzmer and Play Media Distribution Ltd.

The reason is the same in both cases. Qualitative restrictions on grounds of public health and morals are justified.’
