THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE

No. 53

(2) Every licensed distributor (including a producer selling otherwise than by way of retail) who sells any eggs to which this order applies shall specify in the relevant invoices with respect to each item the classification of the eggs comprised in the item.

FIXING MAXIMUM RETAIL PRICES OF EGGS TO WHICH THIS ORDER APPLIES

(1) 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 Schedule hereto.

(2) Where, in this price order, retail prices are expressed both in decimal currency and in existing currency, the prices expressed in decimal currency shall be the prices applicable from 10 July 1967, unless, because of difficulties relating to machine conversion, a trader continues to deal during the transitional period exclusively or principally in existing currency, in which case the prices applicable shall be those expressed in existing currency.

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 CARTONED AND LOOSE CHILLED HEN EGGS TO WHICH THIS ORDER APPLIES

The maximum wholesale or retail price that may be charged or received by any licensed distributor or retailer for cartoned or loose chilled hen eggs to which this order applies shall be the appropriate maximum price specified in the Schedules hereto, reduced by 6d. per dozen, or 5 cents per dozen.

PROVISION FOR SPECIAL PRICES

(1) Subject to such conditions, if any, as it thinks fit, the Price Tribunal, on application by any licensed distributor or retailer, may authorise an addition to the maximum prices fixed from time to time 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 licensed distributor 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 licensed distributor or retailer while the approval remains in force.

(2) Where in terms of clause 11 (1) hereof the Price Tribunal has authorised an addition to the maximum First Schedule prices for eggs a retailer, on being notified in writing to this effect by the licensed distributor, may add the extra amount so authorised to the maximum Second Schedule prices for cartoned eggs.

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"
