Price Order No. 2063 (Cornsacks)

PURSUANT to the Control of Prices Act 1947, I, Geoffrey Harold Datson, pursuant to a delegation from the Secretary of Industries and Commerce acting under a delegation from the Price Tribunal, hereby make the following price order:

1. This order may be cited as Price Order No. 2063 and shall come into force on the 24th day of November 1967.
2. (1) Price Order No. 1997* is hereby revoked.
   (2) The revocation of the said order shall not affect the liability of any person for any offence in relation thereto committed before the coming into force of this order.

APPLICATION OF THIS ORDER

3. This order applies with respect to sales by way of retail of all cornsacks other than secondhand cornsacks sold in New Zealand.

FIXING MAXIMUM RETAIL PRICES OF CORNSACKS TO WHICH THIS ORDER APPLIES

4. (1) The maximum retail price that may be charged or received for any cornsacks to which this order applies shall be determined as follows:
   (a) When sold “ex wharf” at Auckland, Napier, Wellington, Lyttelton, Timaru, Dunedin, or Bluff: For 46-in. by 23-in. cornsacks, $3.60 per dozen; for 48-in. by 26½-in. cornsacks, $4.38 per dozen.
   (b) When sold “ex store” at Auckland, Napier, Wellington, Lyttelton, Timaru, Dunedin, or Bluff: For 46-in. by 23-in. cornsacks, $3.70 per dozen; for 48-in. by 26½-in. cornsacks, $4.48 per dozen.
   (c) When sold by a retailer carrying on business elsewhere than at Auckland, Napier, Wellington, Lyttelton, Timaru, Dunedin, or Bluff, the maximum price shall be the appropriate price fixed by paragraph (b) hereof, increased by the appropriate proportion of the freight charges incurred by the retailer in obtaining delivery from such one of the said places as is most convenient of access to his store; provided that, where any cornsacks to which this paragraph applies are obtained by the retailer elsewhere than from such one of the said places that is most convenient of access to his store, the increase authorised by this paragraph shall not exceed the appropriate proportion of the freight charges that would have been incurred by the retailer if the cornsacks had been obtained from that place and if delivery had been effected by the holder of a goods-service licence under the Transport Act 1962 at authorised rates.
   (2) The maximum prices fixed by the last preceding sub-clause are fixed as for delivery f.o.r. or f.o.b. as the case may require.
   (3) Where any cornsacks are delivered by a retailer otherwise than f.o.r. or f.o.b., the price that may be charged by the retailer shall be the appropriate price in terms of the foregoing provisions of this clause, increased by the amount of the freight charges incurred by him in effecting delivery and then reduced by the amount of those charges that would have been incurred by him if he had delivered the cornsacks f.o.r. or f.o.b. as aforesaid.
   (4) Any freight charges imposed by a retailer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this clause shall be shown separately on the appropriate invoice.

PROVISION FOR SPECIAL PRICES WHERE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES INCURRED

5. 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 retailer, may authorise special maximum prices for any cornsacks 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 cornsacks or may relate generally to all cornsacks to which this order applies sold by the retailer while the approval remains in force.

Dated at Wellington this 22nd day of November 1967.

Director of Trade Practices and Prices Division.
