Section 42 Disposition versions

2022-06-03

42. No producer nor any person acting for a producer may refuse to engage an artist because that artist exercises a right arising from this Act, or endeavour by intimidation, discrimination or reprisals, threat of dismissal or other threat, or by the imposition of a sanction or by any other means, to compel an artist to refrain from or to cease exercising a right arising from this Act.

If it is shown to the satisfaction of the Tribunal that the artist exercised a right arising from this Act, there is a simple presumption in his favour that the action was taken against him because he exercised such right, and the burden of proof is upon the producer to prove that he resorted to the action against the artist for another good and sufficient reason.
