Order No. 1 (1968) of the Trade Practices and Prices Commission

IN the matter of the Trade Practices Act 1958 and in the matter of a common price list for fees and charges for optometrical services and supplies operated by members of the New Zealand Optometrical Association (Incorporated) :

WHEREAS the Trade Practices and Prices Commission has received from the Examiner of Trade Practices and Prices (hereinafter referred to as “the Examiner”) a report, pursuant to section 17 of the said Act, in which it was alleged that the New Zealand Optometrical Association (Incorporated) (hereinafter referred to as “the Association”) had adopted a common price list for fees and charges for optometrical services and supplies;

AND WHEREAS the Examiner reported that the common price list had been promulgated in the form of an “Approved Minimum Scale of Fees and Charges” accompanied by a schedule headed “Explanation of Fee Structure”;

AND WHEREAS the Examiner reported that the said common price list had been issued to members of the Association under cover of a circular dated 9 March 1967;

AND WHEREAS the Examiner reported that he had formed an opinion that the pricing arrangement operated by the Association and its members was a trade practice in terms of section 19 (2) (c) of the said Act, and was contrary to the public interest in terms of section 20 (1) (d) of the said Act;

AND WHEREAS the Examiner reported that the requirements of section 16A of the said Act had been complied with and that the Association had agreed to abandon the trade practice and had consented to the nature of his recommendation to the Trade Practices and Prices Commission as to an order and its form under section 19 of the said Act in respect of the said trade practice;

AND WHEREAS the Examiner recommended that the said Commission should make the said order under section 19 of the said Act;

AND WHEREAS the said Commission is satisfied that all persons who would be bound by the said order have concurred with the said recommendation and the said Commission has dispensed with an inquiry under section 18 of the said Act;

AND WHEREAS the said Commission has decided that an order of the nature recommended by the Examiner in the said report should be made under the said Act:

NOW, THEREFORE, the Trade Practices and Prices Commission hereby orders and directs the New Zealand Optometrical Association (Incorporated) and its members:

(i) To discontinue and refrain from any practice of consulting together for the purpose of jointly fixing, nominating or recommending fees, charges, margins, prices or terms of trade;

(ii) To cancel and withdraw any price list or other notification of fees, charges, margins, or prices issued by the Association for the guidance of or use by members; and

(iii) To refrain from reviving this practice in any form whatsoever, and from entering into any agreement or arrangement which would have substantially the same effect.

Dated at Wellington this 4th day of June 1968.

The seal of the Trade Practices and Prices Commission was affixed hereto in the presence of:
