Judgement for the case Robin Ray v Classic FM Plc

Table Of Contents

  • Was argued that as Claimant had been commissioned to create databases, copyright in these was vested in Defendant.

Held

  • If Claimant is commissioned to carry out work for Defendant, in absence of express or implied agreement to contrary work belongs to Claimant.

    • Mere fact that Claimant has been commissioned does not mean commissioner is entitled to the copyright

  • However implied agreement to contrary may be found if it is reasonably necessary to give business efficacy to contract.
