(c)

Proposed new section 104D Subsection (1)

provides that where an offence under section

104A (displaying or affixing a poster without

permission) is committed then not only is the

bill poster liable for that offence but also

his employer and the person whose goods,

trade, business or other concerns are given

publicity by the bill or poster. Subsection

(2) provides that a person is deemed to

display a bill or poster for the purposes

of sections 104B and 104C if it is displayed

on land of which he is the owner or occupier

or if the bill or poster gives publicity of

his goods, trade, business or other concerns.

However, a person will not be guilty of an

of fence under section 104A or section 104B

or liable to the cost of removal under

section 104C if he can prove that the bill

or poster was displayed or affixed without

his knowledge or consent.

(a) Proposed new section 104E

Subsection (1)

defines "Authority" so as to include those

Government departments and public bodies

that have the management and control of

particular areas of land. Subsections (2),

(3) & (4) define "land", "occupier" and

#bill or poster". A saving for other

enactments is contained in subsection (5).
