Title Supreme Court: Reporting Lost or Stolen Films to MTRCB

Law: Mtrcb Circular No. 92-022

Decision Date: Nov 20, 1992

Producers and distributors must report any lost or stolen films to the police and submit the report to the Board, as it serves as their only defense against future legal issues regarding the confiscation of the stolen property.

A

Legal Defense Using Police Report

The police report serves as the sole valid defense for the producer or distributor against seizures and penalties related to the lost or stolen film.
Without this police report, the producer or distributor may be held responsible for the film.

Authority to Confiscate Stolen Films

Upon receipt of the police report, the MTRCB is authorized to order the confiscation and forfeiture of the lost or stolen film wherever it is found showing.
This action is justified on the basis of the film being stolen property.

Compliance and Enforcement

The circular serves as official notice for producers and distributors to comply with these reporting requirements.
Failure to comply may result in administrative or legal consequences as provided under applicable laws and regulations.

Governance and Date of Effectivity

The directive was adopted and signed by the Chairperson of the MTRCB, Henrietta S. Mendez.
The provisions take effect immediately from November 20, 1992.
