This document deals with the procedure to be adopted in cases where submitting companies are dissatisfied with the determination made by the Board in respect of their work. The BBFC offers a formal ‘reconsideration’ procedure which is open to any distributor dissatisfied with the determination made in respect of their work . The reconsideration is free of charge and will normally take less than 10 working days. A distributor may also appeal directly to an independent authority. Such an appeal make take place following, or instead of, a request for reconsideration by the BBFC. The procedure for film and video works (including DVDs, video games, etc) is slightly different because of the different legislative frameworks. Distributors should note that a reconsideration or an appeal involves looking at the issues afresh. This means that the outcome could, in some circumstances, be more restrictive than the original determination. Full details are available in the downloads section of the website.
