Retailers' Prices
8. (1) The maximum price that may be charged or received
by any retailer for any cheese to which this Order applies shall be
determined in accordance with the following provisions, namely:
(a) In the case of cheese sold by a retailer to whom supplies
of Cheddar cheese are available, free of freight charges,

maximum retail price shall be 1s. 4½d. a pound:
(b) In cases to which the last preceding paragraph does not
apply, the maximum retail price shall be 1s. 4½d. a pound,
increased to the nearest upward halfpenny by a propor-
tionate part of the freight charges incurred by the
retailer in obtaining delivery at his store:
Provided that where any cheese to which this
paragraph applies is obtained by the retailer from a
source of supply that is not the nearest or most con-
venient of access to the retailer’s store, the increase of the
price per pound authorized by this paragraph shall not
exceed a proportionate part of the freight charges that
would have been incurred by the retailer if the cheese
had been obtained from the source of supply nearest
or most convenient of access to his store, and if delivery
had been effected by a common carrier at current freight
rates.
(2) Where the quantity of cheese sold by a retailer in any one
transaction is not an exact number of pounds, the maximum price
shall be computed at the rate per pound fixed in accordance with
the last preceding subclause.
(3) If in respect of any cheese the retail price charged in
accordance with the provisions of this clause is not an exact number
of pence or halfpence, the maximum price shall be computed to the
nearest upward halfpenny.

9. Subject to such conditions, if any, as it thinks fit, the
Tribunal, on application by any wholesaler or retailer, may authorize
special prices in respect of any cheese to which this Order applies
where for any reason extraordinary charges (freight or otherwise)
are incurred by the wholesaler or retailer. Any authority given by
the Tribunal under this clause may apply with respect to a specified
lot or consignment of cheese or may relate generally to all cheese
to which this Order applies sold by the wholesaler or retailer while
the approval remains in force.
