Price Order No. 387 (Spirits)

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. 387, and shall come into force on the 9th day of July, 1945.

2. (1) Price Order No. 359† 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. (1) In this Order, unless the context otherwise requires,—

“Original bottle”, in relation to any sale, means any bottle or other container filled to its normal capacity prior to and not for the purposes of that sale :

“Private bar” means any room, passage, or lobby in any licensed premises wherein the public may enter and purchase liquors, but which is not open immediately to any street, highway, public place, or public thoroughfare :

APPLICATION OF THIS ORDER

4. This Order applies with respect to the sale by the holder of a publican’s license or an accommodation license—

(a) Of drinks consisting of or containing any one, but not more than one, of the following—that is to say, whisky, rum, brandy, or gin—without the addition of any other intoxicating liquor, when sold over the counter of a public bar or private bar for consumption on the licensed premises :

FIXING MAXIMUM PRICES OF SPIRITS TO WHICH THIS ORDER APPLIES

5. (1) Except as provided in subclause (2) hereof, the maximum price that may be charged by the licensee of any licensed premises for any drink to which this Order applies shall be—

(a) When the quantity of spirits contained in the drink is less than a full standard measure, the maximum price of the drink shall be 6d. :

(b) When the quantity of spirits contained in the drink is a full standard measure, the maximum price of the drink shall be 10d. :

(c) When the quantity of spirits contained in the drink is equal to two or more full standard measures, the maximum price of the drink shall be 10d. multiplied by the number of full standard measures :

(d) When the quantity of spirits contained in the drink exceeds a full standard measure but is not an exact number of standard measures, the maximum price of the drink shall be 10d. for each full standard measure.

(2) When any drink to which this Order applies consists partly of spirits and partly of one or more flavouring or diluting ingredients, no additional charge shall be made in respect of the flavouring or diluting ingredients if the quantity thereof does not exceed two parts to one part of spirits. In any other case, the licensee may charge for the drink at the appropriate rate prescribed by the last preceding subclause, and may make a separate charge, computed at the ordinary selling-price, for any additional flavouring or diluting ingredients required by the customer to be added to the drink in excess of the proportion of two parts of flavouring or diluting ingredients to one part of spirits.

6. (1) Subject to the provisions of the next succeeding subclause, the maximum price that may be charged by the licensee of any licensed premises for any brandy to which the provisions of subclause (b) of clause 4 of this Order apply shall be at the rate of 1s. 4d. a fluid ounce.

(2) In addition to the price fixed in the last preceding subclause a reasonable price may be charged for the bottle in which the brandy is sold to the purchaser, but any charge so made shall be refunded to the purchaser on the return of the bottle.

Dated at Wellington, this 2nd day of July, 1945.
