Censor Appeal Board's decision 'contrary to natural justice', court hears

Judgment has been reserved in a High Court action brought by the owner of an 'adult' shop aimed at quashing the Censor's refusal to grant her a certificate for an 'erotic' pornographic movie.

Ms Jaqueline Byrne, Capel Street, Dublin who is the owner of 'Shauna's' adult store has taken proceedings against the Official Censor and the Censorship of Films Appeals Board where she is seeking a court order quashing the Appeal Board's decision to uphold one made by the Censor on April 19, 2004 not to give a certification to a film entitled 'Anabolic Initiations No. 5'.
