Fixing Maximum Wholesale and Retail Prices for Nails to Which This Order Applies

(a) For nails sold by a wholesaler whose place of business is situate in any of the cities of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, or
Dunedin, the maximum wholesale price shall be the appropriate price fixed in the Schedule hereto:
(b) For nails sold by any other wholesaler, the maximum wholesale price shall be the appropriate price fixed in the Schedule hereto
increased by a proportionate part of any freight charges incurred by the wholesaler in obtaining delivery into his premises.

incurred by the retailer in obtaining delivery into his premises.

  1. If in respect of any lot of nails sold by a retailer the maximum retail price calculated in accordance with the foregoing provisions of
    this Order is not an exact number of pence or half-pence, the maximum price of the lot shall be calculated to the next upward halfpenny.

Special Prices Where Extraordinary Charges Incurred

  1. 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 nails 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 nails, or may relate generally to
    all nails to which this Order applies sold by the wholesaler or retailer while the approval remains in force.
