Before the Indecent Publications Tribunal

In the matter of an application by the Comptroller of Customs for decisions in respect of the following publication: The Good, The Bad and The Beautiful, by Fiona Richardson. Published by W. H. Allen & Co. Ltd. London:

Chairman: Judge W. M. Willis.
Members: Mesdames H. B. Dick, L. P. Nikera; Messrs J. V. B. McLinden, I. W. Malcolm.
Hearing: 1 April 1982.
Decision: 28 February 1983.
Appearances: Mr P. E. P. M. Leloir for Comptroller of Customs. No submissions by importer Wholesale Book Distributors.

DECISION

A single copy of the above paperback was imported commercially and seized at Auckland. The importer has disputed forfeiture so that the book comes before the Tribunal for classification.

Mr Leloir has submitted that the book was “merely a cheap collection of explicit sexual escapades and crude language”. In the Tribunal’s view the book is almost completely devoid of plot, it has no redeeming features, is devoid of literary merit and in short has nothing to recommend it. There were no submissions from the importers, Wholesale Books Ltd., and the Tribunal has no difficulty in classifying it as indecent.

District Court Judge W. M. WILLIS, Chairman.
