I1113Interference with freedom to use Welsh

1

For the purposes of this Measure, D is to be taken to interfere with P's freedom to undertake a Welsh communication with R in any of the following cases.

2

Case 1 is where D indicates that P or R should not undertake—

a

a particular communication in Welsh that is a Welsh communication, or

b

a category of communications in Welsh consisting (wholly or partly) of one or more Welsh communications.

3

Case 2 is where D indicates that P or R will be subjected to a detriment (by D or any other person) because P or R has undertaken—

a

a particular communication in Welsh that is a Welsh communication, or

b

a category of communications in Welsh consisting (wholly or partly) of one or more Welsh communications.

4

Case 3 is where D, or a person acting at D's instigation, subjects P or R to a detriment because P or R has undertaken—

a

a particular communication in Welsh that is a Welsh communication, or

b

a category of communications in Welsh consisting (wholly or partly) of one or more Welsh communications.

5

But, in a case falling within subsection (2)(b), (3)(b) or (4)(b), D is to be taken to interfere with P's freedom to undertake a Welsh communication only insofar as the category of communications consists of one or more Welsh communications.

6

For the purposes of subsection (2), the circumstances in which D is to be taken to indicate that P or R should not undertake a particular communication, or a category of communications, include, but are not limited to, circumstances where—

a

D instructs P or R not to undertake the communication or category of communications,

b

D indicates that P or R will be subjected to a detriment (by D or any other person) if P or R undertakes the communication or category of communications, or

c

D, or a person acting at D's instigation, subjects P or R to a detriment in connection with P or R undertaking the communication or category of communications.

7

For the purposes of this section, it is irrelevant—

a

whether or not D or any other person has authority to give an indication, and

b

whether or not D or any other person has authority to enforce an indication.

8

In this section, references to P or R being subjected to a detriment include P or R being intimidated, bullied, harassed or humiliated.
