Court challenge for video game
THE British Board of Film Censors (BBFC) has won permission to launch a High Court challenge over violent video game Manhunt 2.
The BBFC refused to give the game a classification, in effect banning it from sale. But the Video Appeals Committee (VAC) overturned the ruling.
BBFC lawyers argued VAC was guilty of "a very serious misdirection of law" on the question of harm and had misinterpreted the 1984 Video Recordings Act.
Mr Justice Wyn Williams ruled the board had an arguable case.
