CAMA — Contract Adjustment Mechanism

CAMA is the Contract Adjustment Mechanism under Irish law (S.I. 567/2021) — the statutory route by which an Irish writer / director / composer / performer can seek an adjustment of their share where the original contractual remuneration has become "disproportionately low" compared to the actual exploitation revenue of the work.

Linkage to transparency

CAMA is closely tied to the Transparency reports — Article 19 / S.I. 567/2021 obligation under Article 19. The transparency report gives the participant the information to assess whether their share is disproportionately low; CAMA gives them the legal route to do something about it.
