APPLICATION OF THIS ORDER

3. This order applies with respect to all bananas sold by way of retail in New Zealand.

FIXING MAXIMUM RETAIL PRICES OF BANANAS

4. (1) The maximum price that may be charged or received by any retailer for any bananas to which this order applies shall be determined as follows:
   (a) When sold by a retailer carrying on business in any of the metropolitan areas of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, or Dunedin, or in any of the Cities or Boroughs of Whangarei, Takapuna, Hamilton, Tauranga, Rotorua, Gisborne, New Plymouth, Stratford, Wanganui, Palmerston North, Napier, Hastings, Blenheim, Nelson, Greymouth, Timaru, Westport, Oamaru, Balclutha, Gore, or Invercargill—

PROVISIONS FOR SPECIAL PRICES

5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this order, and subject to such conditions, if any, as it thinks fit, the Tribunal, on application by any retailer, may authorise special maximum prices in respect of any bananas to which this order applies where special circumstances exist, or for any reason extraordinary charges (freight or otherwise) are incurred by the retailer. Any authority given by the Tribunal under this clause may apply with respect to a specified lot or consignment of bananas, or may relate generally to all bananas to which this order applies sold by the retailer while the approval remains in force.

DUTY IMPOSED ON RETAILERS

Every retailer who offers or exposes for sale in any shop any bananas to which this order applies shall keep in a prominent position in such proximity to the bananas to which it relates as to be obviously in relation thereto a ticket, placard, or label on which shall be stated in legible and prominent characters the retail price per pound of the bananas.
