   "Abattoir district" means an abattoir district constituted in accordance with the Meat Act, 1939:
   "The said specification " means the New Zealand Emergency Standard Specification (as heretofore amended) (No. N.Z.S.S. E. 79)
   and entitled "Grades of Meat for Sale on the Local Market and Definitions of Joints and Cuts," declared by the Minister of
   Industries and Commerce under the authority of section 8 of the Standards Act, 1941, to be a standard specification.
   (2) References in this Order to the kind, description, or grade of any meat shall be deemed respectively to be references to
   the kind, description, or grade of such meat within the meaning and for the purposes of the said specification.
   (3) All meat sold or delivered to a purchaser during the currency of this Order shall be deemed, until the contrary is proved, to be meat
   of the grade indicated thereon by the distinctive grade marking made pursuant to the said specification.

APPLICATION OF THIS ORDER

5. (1) This Order applies only with respect to retail sales of meat intended for human consumption and sold within an
   abattoir district.

FIXING MAXIMUM RETAIL PRICES OF MEAT TO WHICH THIS ORDER APPLIES

6. (1) The basic retail prices of meat of the kinds and descriptions specified in the First Schedule hereto shall be the appropriate
   prices prescribed in that Schedule.
   (2) Except where an increase in the retail price of any such meat is authorized in accordance with the Second Schedule hereto, or in
   accordance with subclause (2) of clause 7 hereof, the maximum retail price of any such meat shall be calculated at the rate of the
   appropriate basic price fixed in accordance with the First Schedule hereto.
   (3) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing provisions of this Order and subject to such conditions, if any, as it thinks fit, the Tribunal,
   on application by any retailer, may authorize special maximum retail prices in respect of any meat to which this Order applies where for any
   reason extraordinary charges (freight or otherwise) are incurred by the retailer. Any authority given by the Tribunal under this subclause
   may apply with respect to a specified lot or consignment of meat or may relate generally to all meat to which this Order applies sold by the
   retailer while the approval remains in force.

   retail price of that meat shall be the appropriate maximum retail price as fixed by the foregoing provisions of this Order, increased
   by 1d. per pound: Provided that where both such conditions apply the said appropriate maximum retail price shall not be increased
   by more than 1d. per pound.
