Commentary on provisions of Act Section 3: Transfer of right to royalties relating to "Peter Pan"
This section makes amendments to sections 301 and 304 of, and Schedule 6 to, the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 to provide for the transfer of the rights in perpetuity to royalties, or other remuneration as agreed, in respect of the public performance, commercial publication or communication to the public of the play "Peter Pan" by J.M. Barrie. These rights are currently conferred on special trustees (appointed by the Secretary of State) for Great Ormond Street Hospital and will instead be conferred on the new independent charity for Great Ormond Street Hospital.
