30 Application of the scheme to claim under earlier scheme

(1) A claim for a book made under an earlier scheme is not recognised for this scheme if it had been determined that the book, creator or publisher was not eligible under the earlier scheme. (2) Any other claim for a book made under an earlier scheme is recognised for this scheme as if it had been made under section 21. (3) If no payments had been made for a book under an earlier scheme, this scheme applies to the book as if the last estimate of the number of copies of the book that had been made under the earlier scheme (if one had been made) were an estimate under this scheme. (4) If payments had been made for the book under an earlier scheme, this scheme applies to the book as if it were an eligible book. (5) If payments had been made for the book under an earlier scheme, this scheme applies to the book as if the book’s creator were an eligible creator. (6) If payments had been made for the book under an earlier scheme, this scheme applies to the book as if the book’s publisher were an eligible publisher. (7) If payments had been made for the book under an earlier scheme, this scheme applies to the book as if the last estimate of the number of copies of the book made under the earlier scheme (if an estimate had been made) were an estimate under this scheme.
