An element of copyright law in British Commonwealth countries, roughly analogous to "fair use" in the United States, but narrower in scope.
Exceptions to infringement set out in the Copyright Act, where the dealing is both “fair†and genuinely for one of the specified purposes (research or study, criticism or review, reporting news, or legal advice).
Similar to fair use, used in many common law countries. The main difference is that “fair use†tends to be an openended legal doctrine (the US copyright statute provides factors which contribute to fair use), while “fair dealing†is defined in a constrained manner, through an enumerated list of causes for exemption that allows little room for judicial interpretation.
Under the Copyright Design and Patent Act 1988, copyright infringement covers not only copying (primary infringement) but also knowingly dealing commercially in infringing copies (secondary infringement) as well as assisting in primary and secondary infringement. Copyright may be infringed by copying all or a substantial part (judged in terms of quality and quantity) of a work. Certain copying is not infringement i.e if for private study, criticism or fair dealing - e.g. for pure research.
