Price Order No. 1421 (Matches)

PURSUANT to the Control of Prices Act 1947, the Price Tribunal, acting with the authority of the Minister of Industries and Commerce, hereby makes the following Price Order :—

1. This Order may be cited as Price Order No. 1421, and shall come into force on the 7th day of November 1952.
2. Price Order No. 1359* is hereby revoked.
3. 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.

APPLICATION OF THIS ORDER

4. This Order applies only with respect to the matches specified in the Schedule hereto.

FIXING MAXIMUM PRICES OF MATCHES TO WHICH THIS ORDER APPLIES

5. Subject to the following provisions of this Order, the maximum price that may be charged by a manufacturer, a wholesaler, or a retailer for any matches to which this Order applies shall be the appropriate price set out in the Schedule hereto.
6. The maximum prices that may be charged by a manufacturer or a wholesaler are fixed subject to the customary delivery terms in operation at the date of this Order, and in any case where such delivery terms are discontinued or altered the said maximum prices shall be reduced by an amount commensurate with any extra delivery charges incurred by the purchaser.
7. The maximum price that any wholesaler may charge for a lesser quantity than a five-case lot is fixed subject to the customary cash discount ruling at the date of this Order, and in any case where such discount is not allowed the said maximum price shall be reduced by the amount of such discount.
8. (1) The retail prices set out in the Schedule with respect to dozen-box lots, four-box lots, and three-box lots shall apply at all places in New Zealand where a place of business of a wholesaler buying such matches, freight paid, is situate; at any place in New Zealand where there is no wholesaler buying freight paid the said prices may be increased by the amount of the freight charges that would have been incurred had the matches been purchased from the nearest wholesaler buying “freight-paid”.
   (2) For the purposes of this clause, where the place of business of any retailer is situate within ten miles of the place of business of a wholesaler it shall be deemed to be situate in the same place of business as that wholesaler.
9. The maximum prices set out in the Schedule with respect to lesser quantities than three-box lots shall apply at all places in New Zealand.
10. (1) Where matches are sold by retail in lots of more than a dozen boxes the maximum price that may be charged for the lot shall be the appropriate price fixed for the number of dozen lots in the sale, together with the price for the remaining number of boxes calculated in accordance with subclause (2) hereof or, in any case where subclause (2) does not apply, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Order.
    (2) Where matches are sold by retail in lots of more than four and less than twelve boxes the maximum price that may be charged for the lot shall be the appropriate price fixed for the number of four-box lots in the sale, together with the appropriate price prescribed for the remaining number of boxes in the sale.

PROVISION FOR SPECIAL PRICES WHERE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES INCURRED

11. 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 manufacturer, wholesaler, or retailer, may authorize special maximum prices for any matches to which this Order applies where special circumstances exist, or for any reason extraordinary charges (freight or otherwise) are incurred by the manufacturer, wholesaler, or retailer. Any authority given by the Tribunal under this clause may apply with respect to a specified lot or consignment of matches or may relate generally to all matches to which this Order applies sold by the manufacturer, wholesaler, or retailer while the approval remains in force.
