doncapoandco@aol.com, info@doncapo.comWe hope this is helpful for all concerned.
The Minimum Wage Regulations apply to all forms of employment both full or part time under an employment contract.
In principle the Minimum Wage Regulations would apply to all acting work undertaken, but this is only in the event of the work being subject to an employment contract.
Where work is undertaken for personal promotion reasons it can be unpaid, though in the event there is a commercial benefit to the film makers, there may be a future liability that could be implied into a contract in relation to performing rights.
Extras are essentially background actors who may or may not be used and who do not have performing rights.
It is very difficult to specify the conditions under which the Minimum Wage Regulations may apply or may not apply because it will depend on the circumstances of each case or acting assignment.
Essentially it may be necessary to determine a contract in advance in some cases and in others the contract or agreement may be signed after the work has been done. In such case the contract is only validly enforceable on the issues that arose before the work was first undertaken.
In general, anyone may undertake voluntary employment without a wage. Actors may therefore be paid or unpaid depending on the agreement and the end purpose of the production they are involved in. Thus a dramatical work in performing arts may be solely voluntary in the same way a samba band of musicians may join in procession for the Notting Hill Carnival under an agreement, but at the end of the day, there is no pay.
If in doubt, one should seek legal advice before undertaking or agreeing to a contract.

DCCan we suggest (probably subject to an approval from the UK Screen team) that before deleting the fictitious e-mails received, that are appaentlyr threatening that they are copied and pasted to the UK Screen Notice Board, and that MSN are contacted concerning the spamming to identify the sender if indeed HENRY COOK exists.
Also, please be aware that section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1988 makes it an offence to send a threatening communication with the intent to cause anxiety or distress without any justified reason. E-mails fall under the legal protection of this law.
HENRY COOK should also be aware that corporate libel may be pursued for bringing UK Screen into disrepute or attempting to do so, and it may amount to a course of conduct that collectively is aimed at the purpose of causing harassment and therefore an offence under Protection from Harassment Act 1997. Indeed the conduct may also be “a common law offence of public nuisance”.
If the e-mails are collectively posted here on this notice board, they may form evidence that can be pursued by the police to bring about an end to this maliciousness and fraud.
Hope the above advice is helpful to all those at UK Screen and those who have received these unpleasant e-mails. If we can provide any free legal assistance or help please let us know.
Best regards
