Explanatory Note.
(This Note is not part of the Order.)

with certain exceptions and modifications to form part of the law of
Hong Kong.
The Order also extends three Orders in Council made under Part
V of that ct. The extension of these Orders will afford protection in
Hong Kong to works originating in countries party to International
Copyright Conventions, to works produced by certain international
organizations and to lawfully authorized broadcast originating in other
Commonwealth courtries to which the 1956 act has already been extended.
