Price Order No. 299 (White Oats)

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:—

PRELIMINARY

1. This Order may be cited as Price Order No. 299, and shall come into force on the 15th day of January, 1945.

2. (1) Price Order No. 78† 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.

3. In this Order—

“Grower”, in relation to oats to which this Order applies, means a person engaged in the business of growing such oats for sale:

“Grower’s station”, in relation to any grower, means the railway-station that is nearest or most convenient of access to the grower’s premises:

The expression “f.o.r.s.e.” means “free on rail, sacks extra”.

APPLICATION OF THIS ORDER

4. This Order applies with respect to all white oats grown in New Zealand and harvested during the 1944-45 season or at any time thereafter.

Fixing Maximum Price of Oats to Which this Order Applies

5. (1) Subject to the provisions of the next succeeding clause, the maximum price that may be charged or received by the grower or any other vendor for any oats to which this Order applies shall be 3s. 8d. per bushel f.o.r.s.e. the grower's station.

(2) Where any oats to which this Order applies are delivered by a vendor otherwise than f.o.r.s.e. the grower's station, the price that may be charged by the vendor shall be the appropriate price in terms of the foregoing provisions of this clause, increased by the amount of the charges (if any) incurred by the vendor in effecting delivery and then reduced by the amount of the charges that would have been incurred by him if he had delivered the oats f.o.r.s.e. the grower's station.

6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the last preceding clause, where any oats to which this Order applies are sold by any vendor other than a grower, the maximum price per bushel fixed by subclause (1) or subclause (2) of that clause (as the case may be) may, in the case of oats that are not ultimately intended for milling purposes, be increased—

(a) By a proportionate part of any expenses incurred by any vendor other than the grower in respect of transport or storage or in respect of the dressing or other treatment of the oats; and also

(b) By an amount not exceeding the amount by which, in accordance with trade practice, the price per bushel charged by a vendor of the same class (exclusive of charges in respect of transport or storage or in respect of dressing or other treatment as aforesaid), customarily exceeds the price per bushel paid to the grower.

7. In any proceedings for a breach of this Order the maximum price that could lawfully be charged for any oats to which this Order applies shall be deemed to be the price fixed by clause 5 hereof unless the defendant proves that the oats to the sale of which the proceedings relate were, at the time of sale, intended ultimately for purposes other than milling purposes.
