PURSUANT to the powers conferred on it by the Control of Prices Emergency Regulations 1939,* the Price Tribunal, acting with the authority of the Minister of Industries and Commerce, doth hereby make the following Price Order:—

1. This Order may be cited as Price Order No. 144, and shall come into force on the 12th day of July, 1943.

2. (1) Price Order No. 138† is hereby revoked.

(2) The revocation of the said Order shall not affect the liability of any person for any offence in relation thereto committed before the coming into force of this Order.

APPLICATION OF THIS ORDER

3. (1) This Order applies with respect to the sale for human consumption of cabbages and silver beet.

(2) Every sale of any such vegetables shall be deemed to be a sale for human consumption unless at the time of sale there is a bona fide agreement or stipulation between the buyer and the seller that the vegetables to which the sale relates are intended for a specific purpose other than human consumption.

4. The maximum prices fixed by this Order apply with respect to sales by auction, as well as to other sales.

5. The wholesale prices fixed by this Order apply with respect to sales of the following classes, namely:—

(a) Sales to retailers (whether made by the grower or any other person); and

(b) Sales to users in any case where a lot of not less than 5 cwt. of any one kind of vegetable to which this Order applies is sold to any one purchaser for delivery at one time.

6. The provisions of this Order fixing prices by reference to the weight of the vegetables to which any sale relates shall apply notwithstanding that in any such case the seller may sell or purport to sell otherwise than by weight.

FIXING MAXIMUM PRICES OF VEGETABLES TO WHICH THIS ORDER APPLIES

7. (1) The maximum wholesale prices and the maximum retail prices of vegetables to which this Order applies shall be determined in accordance with the Schedule hereto.

(2) The wholesale prices fixed by this Order are fixed as for delivery at the wholesaler’s store or other premises from which delivery to the purchaser is effected.

(3) The retail prices fixed by this Order are fixed as for delivery at the retailer’s shop or other premises occupied by the retailer.

(4) Where delivery is effected by a wholesaler elsewhere than at premises occupied by him, he may add to the appropriate price fixed in accordance with the Schedule hereto the reasonable cost of delivery, not exceeding in any case the cost that would have been incurred by him if delivery had been effected by a common carrier at current freight rates.
