REGULATIONS.
Licensing of Fruit Buyers.

1. (1) THESE regulations may be cited as the Cook Islands Fruit
   Regulations Amendment, 1933, No. 4.
   (2) These regulations shall be read together with and form part
   of the Cook Islands Fruit Regulations, 1928, and the amendments
   thereof.
   (3) These regulations shall come into force on the 1st day of April,

2. (4) These regulations shall not apply to the Island of Niue.

3. In these regulations "principal buyer" shall be deemed to mean
   a person who is engaged in buying fruit for export, and to whom an
   allotment of space to ship fruit is granted by a shipping company.
4. (1) No person shall buy fruit intended for export, whether on
   his own account or in partnership with any other person, or as manager,
   agent, servant, or employee of any person, firm, or corporation, unless
   he is the holder of a license issued pursuant to clause 10 hereof.
   (2) Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, any person who is in
   the actual employment of a person holding a license issued pursuant to
   the provisions of clause 10 hereof may on behalf of such person buy
   fruit intended for export if he is named in a license issued pursuant to
   the provisions of clause 11 hereof.
   (3) The holding of any trading license issued under any regulations
   for the time being in force in respect of trading licenses shall not dispense
   with the necessity of obtaining or being named in a license under these
   regulations.
5. A license may be issued under clause 10 hereof in favour of an
   individual or a partnership firm or a native company registered under the
   Cook Islands Native Companies Regulations, 1923, or a corporate body,
   but in a license issued under clause 11 hereof only an individual shall be
   named as a buyer. Every license issued under these regulations shall
   expire on the 31st day of March following the date of issue of such license.
6. The person issuing any license shall, before issuing the same,
   satisfy himself that the person to or in respect of whom the license is
   to be issued is a fit and proper person to hold or be named in such license,
   and dishonesty shall in all cases be a disqualification from holding or
   being named in a license.
7. (1) The Director, or the Resident Agent of any island, if he is
   of opinion that any person holding or named in a license is no longer
   a fit and proper person to hold or be named in such license may at any
   time, by notice in writing to the person to whom such license is issued,
   declare that at the expiration of seven days from the date of such notice
   the said license shall be revoked as regards the person holding the same
   or named therein, as the case may be.
   (2) The notice in writing required by the last preceding subclause
   shall state shortly the grounds for such revocation.
