8 Fee for publications submitted as a group

• (1) Subclause (2) of this regulation applies where—

  • (a) Any person submits 2 or more publications to the Classification Office under section 12 or section 15 or section 42 of the Act, those submissions being made at the same time (whether or not those publications are submitted under the same provision); or

  • (b) Any person applies under section 47 of the Act for a review of 2 or more publications, those applications being made at the same time.

  (2) Where this subclause applies, the Chief Censor (in any case where paragraph (a) of subclause (1) of this regulation applies) or the Secretary (in any case where paragraph (b) of that subclause applies) may treat as one publication any 2 or more of the publications submitted or, as the case requires, in respect of which the applications are made, and require the payment of only one fee under these regulations in respect of the publications so treated, in any case where—

  • (a) The publications so treated (not being films) are able to be examined or, as the case requires, reviewed together by reason that they relate to substantially the same subject-matter or are otherwise similar in character; and
