Price Order No. 2070 (Australian Oranges)
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. 2070, and
    shall come into force on the 19th day of January 1968.
  2. (1) Price Order No. 2034* 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.
  3. References in this order to metropolitan areas are
    references to the metropolitan areas described in the Schedule
    hereto.
    APPLICATION OF THIS ORDER
  4. This order applies with respect to all Australian oranges
    sold by way of retail in New Zealand.
    MAXIMUM RETAIL PRICES
  5. (1) Where, in this price order, prices are expressed both
    in decimal currency and in existing currency, the prices
    expressed in decimal currency shall be the prices applicable
    unless, because of difficulties relating to machine conversion,
    a trader continues to deal during the transitional period exclu-
    sively or principally in existing currency, in which case the
    prices applicable shall be those expressed in existing currency.
    (2) In this clause the terms “decimal currency”, “existing
    currency”, and “transitional period” shall have the same mean-
    ing as in the Decimal Currency Act 1964.
  6. (1) Subject to the provisions of this clause, the maximum
    price that may be charged or received by any retailer for any
    Australian oranges shall be—
    (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, Strat-
    ford, Hawera, Wanganui, Palmerston North, Napier,
    Hastings, Blenheim, Nelson, Greymouth, Timaru,
    Westport, Oamaru, Balclutha, Gore, or Invercargill—
    16 cents (1s. 7d.) per pound.
    (b) When sold by a retailer carrying on business elsewhere—
    1s. 7½d. per pound, or
    1 lb, 17 cents;
    2 lb, 33 cents;
    3 lb, 50 cents;
    4 lb, 66 cents;
    Fractions of a pound shall be calculated at 17 cents per
    pound. Quantities in excess of 4 lb shall be calculated at the
    rate of 16½ cents per pound.
    (2) If in respect of any lot of oranges sold by a retailer
    the maximum price calculated in accordance with the fore-
    going provisions of this clause is not an exact number of
    cents, pence or half-pence, the maximum price of the lot may
    be computed to the nearest whole cent, or the next upward
    half-penny.
    SPECIAL PRICES WHERE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES INCURRED
  7. Subject to such conditions, if any, as it thinks fit, the
    Tribunal, on application by any retailer, may authorise
    special prices in respect of any Australian oranges 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 oranges or may relate generally to all
    Australian oranges to which this order applies sold by the
    retailer while the approval remains in force.
    DUTY IMPOSED ON RETAILERS
  8. Every retailer who offers or exposes any Australian
    oranges for sale in any shop shall keep in a prominent position
    in such proximity to the oranges 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
    following particulars:
    (a) The retail price per pound of the oranges. Retailers to
    whom clause 6 (b) of this order applies shall state at least
    the prices for 1 lb and 2 lb lots.
    (b) The word “Australian”.
