1222 ADMINISTRATION AND LEGISLATION [PART V Order in Council under the International Copyright Acts made after the passing of this Act as respects any foreign country should not apply to any British possession, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty by the same or any other Order in Council to declare that such Order and the International Copyright Acts and this Act shall not, and the same shall not, apply to such British possession, except so far as is necessary for preventing any prejudice to any rights acquired pre- viously to the date of such Order; and the expressions in the said Acts relating to Her Majesty’s dominions shall be construed accordingly ; but save as provided by such declaration the said Acts and this Act shall apply to every British possession as if it were part of the United Kingdom.

The Convention and the Act provided that the copyright is acquired automatically, so that any conditions as to printing or reprinting locally as a condition of obtaining copyright in a book first published in any country of the Copyright Union could not be imposed consistently with the Convention by any country which formed part of the Union. In 1889 the Canadian Parliament passed an Act (c. 29) dealing with copyright which provided that copyright could be obtained by any person domiciled in any part of Canada or the British possessions or any citizen of any country which had an International Copyright Treaty with the United Kingdom in which Canada was included.
