How does the new board work? If there is an appeal, €1,000 seems an onerous amount to be obliged to pay. Perhaps it is not. I do not have great knowledge of the financial structures of the industry. When a film is referred to the appeal board, it is circulated to the members. They will view it and then meet to have a discussion on it before deciding whether to uphold the appeal.
