THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE
No. 29

FIXING MAXIMUM RETAIL PRICES OF EGGS TO WHICH THIS ORDER APPLIES

The maximum retail price that may be charged or received by any retailer (including a producer) for any eggs to which this order applies shall be the appropriate maximum price specified in the Second and Third Schedules hereto.

Retailers to Exhibit Prices

Every retailer who offers or exposes any eggs to which this order applies for sale in any shop shall keep in a prominent position in such proximity to the eggs to which it relates as to be obviously descriptive thereof a ticket, placard, or label on which shall be stated in legible and prominent characters the classification of the eggs according to whether they are “Large Grade”, “Standard Grade”, “Medium Grade”, “Pullet Grade”, or “Mixed” (in the case of hen eggs), or “Large”, “Small”, or “Mixed” (in the case of duck eggs), and the retail price per dozen of the eggs.

FIXING MAXIMUM WHOLESALE AND RETAIL PRICES FOR LOOSE CHILLED HEN EGGS TO WHICH THIS ORDER APPLIES

The maximum wholesale or retail price that may be charged or received by any wholesaler or retailer for loose chilled hen eggs to which this order applies shall be the appropriate maximum price specified in the Schedules hereto reduced by 3d. per dozen.

PROVISION FOR SPECIAL PRICES

Subject to such conditions, if any, as it thinks fit, the Tribunal, on application by any wholesaler or retailer, may authorise special maximum prices in respect to any eggs 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 eggs, or may relate generally to all eggs to which this order applies sold by the wholesaler or retailer while the approval remains in force.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ... NZGOAL is the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence ... [t]o the greatest extent possible, agencies should apply this licence to copyright material on their websites"
