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 wholesaler or retailer may authorize special maximum prices in respect of any golden syrup or treacle to which this Order applies where special circumstances exist, or 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 golden syrup or treacle or may relate generally to all golden syrup or treacle to which this Order applies sold by the wholesaler or retailer, while the approval remains in force.
