Order No. 3 (1960) of the Trade Practices and Prices Commission

In the matter of the Trade Practices Act 1958 and in the matter of an inquiry into an agreement or arrangement between members of the New Zealand Council of Registered Hairdressers in respect of male hairdressing charges.

WHEREAS the Trade Practices and Prices Commission, pursuant to section 18 of the Trade Practices Act 1958, conducted an inquiry into an agreement or arrangement between members of the New Zealand Council of Registered Hairdressers in respect of male hairdressing charges.

And whereas the Trade Practices and Prices Commission, by Order No. 1 (1960) bearing date the 16th day of February 1960 and published in the New Zealand Gazette on the 18th day of February 1960, made certain orders pursuant to section 19 of the said Trade Practices Act 1958.

And whereas the New Zealand Council of Registered Hairdressers appealed against the whole of the said orders.

And whereas the Trade Practices Appeal Authority heard the said appeal and by its decision bearing date the 22nd day of August 1960 directed the Trade Practices and Prices Commission to reconsider its said orders, which the Trade Practices and Prices Commission has duly done.

And whereas the said agreement or arrangement between members of the New Zealand Council of Registered Hairdressers in respect of male hairdressing charges was found by the Trade Practices and Prices Commission to consist of a recommendation as to the charges to be made for male hairdressing made to all members of the said Council pursuant to a resolution of the Executive of the said Council passed on the 30th day of May 1959, together with the acceptance and adoption of that recommendation by a substantial number of the members of the said Council.

And whereas the Trade Practices and Prices Commission is of opinion that the said agreement or arrangement is a trade practice which is contrary to the public interest.

Now, therefore the Trade Practices and Prices Commission, pursuant to sections 19 and 21 of the Trade Practices Act 1958, hereby orders the members of the said Council to discontinue the said agreement or arrangement and further orders that the Executive of the said Council shall on or before the 30th day of November 1960 rescind the said resolution of 30 May 1959, and further orders that the said Council:

(1) Shall not later than 30 days of the date of this order advise each member of the Council in writing that he is no longer bound to observe the charges recommended pursuant to the said resolution and is free to make such charges for male hairdressing as he thinks fit; and

(2) Shall not later than 30 days of the date of this order take all necessary steps to ensure that the cards distributed by or with the authority or approval of the Council are withdrawn from exhibition in hair-dressing saloons or other places where they may be seen by the public;

and further orders the members of the said Council and the said Council respectively not to revive or renew the said agreement or arrangement or to enter into any other agreement or arrangement of substantially the same nature or to repeat in any form the said trade practice, and further orders that the said order No. 1 (1960), bearing date the 16th day of February 1960 and published in the New Zealand Gazette on the 18th day of February 1960, be and the same is hereby revoked.

Dated at Wellington this 16th day of September 1960.
