2. (1) In this order, unless the context otherwise requires,—
   "Abattoir district" means an abattoir district constituted
   in accordance with the Meat Act 1964.
   "The said specification" means the "New Zealand
   Standard Specification for grades and definitions of
   joints and cuts of meat for sale on the New Zealand
   market" numbered N.Z.S.S. 681:1962.
   "Gisborne Pricing District" means the City of Gisborne
   and the Counties of Cook, Waikohu, and Waiapu
   including all cities, boroughs, and town districts
   situate within or contiguous to the boundaries of
   any such county.
   (2) References in this order to the kind, description, or
   grade of any meat shall be deemed respectively to be
   references to the kind, description, or grade of such meat
   within the meaning and for the purposes of the said
   specification.
   (3) All fresh meat killed in an abattoir district and sold
   or delivered to a purchaser during the currency of this
   order shall be deemed, until the contrary is proved, to be
   meat of the grade indicated thereon by the distinctive grade
   marking made pursuant to the said specification.
   (4) All fresh meat killed elsewhere than in an abattoir
   district and sold or delivered to a purchaser during the
   currency of this order shall be sold at prices not in excess
   of the appropriate prices fixed in this order for first grade
   lamb, hogget, and first grade mutton had it in fact been
   killed and graded in an abattoir district.
   APPLICATION OF THIS ORDER
3. (1) This order applies only with respect to all retail
   sales of first grade lamb, hogget, and first grade mutton
   (whether fresh or prepackaged chilled meat) in the Gisborne
   Meat Pricing District of the kinds or descriptions specified
   in the Schedule hereto intended for human consumption and
   whether sold in an abattoir district or in a non-abattoir
   district.
   (2) All meat sold or delivered to a purchaser during the
   currency of this order shall be deemed to be intended for
   human consumption unless it is sold for some other specific
   purpose.
   (3) The maximum prices fixed by this order apply with
   respect to sales by auction as well as to other sales.
   (4) The provisions of this order shall apply notwith-
   standing that any meat to which this order applies is sold
   otherwise than by weight.
   FIXING MAXIMUM RETAIL PRICES OF MEAT TO WHICH THIS
   ORDER APPLIES
4. (1) The maximum retail prices of meat of the kind
   and descriptions specified in the Schedule hereto for the
   Gisborne Meat Pricing District shall be the appropriate
   price set against the respective kinds and descriptions in
   this Schedule.
   (2) Notwithstanding anything in the 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 retail prices in respect of any meat to
   which this order applies where for any reason extraordinary
   charges (freight or otherwise) are incurred by the retailer.
   Any authority given by the Tribunal under this subclause
   may apply with respect to a specified lot or consignment of
   meat or may relate generally to all meat to which this
   order applies sold by the retailer while the approval remains
   in force.
   GENERAL PROVISIONS AS TO MAXIMUM RETAIL PRICES
5. (1) No additional charges shall be made by a retailer
   for wrapping any meat to which this order applies, or
   for trimming or other incidental and customary services
   performed in relation to the retailing of any such meat.
   (2) If in respect of any lot of meat the maximum price
   calculated in accordance with the provisions of this order
   is not an exact number of cents, the maximum price of the
   lot shall be computed to the nearest cent.
   (3) Where a retailer sells any joint or cut of meat which
   is not in accordance with any one definition in the said
   specification because it comprises less than the total meat
   included in any one definition or comprises meat included
   in more than one definition, the maximum retail price per
   pound of such joint or cut shall be computed on the basis
   that the joint or cut comprises the kind, description, and
   grade of meat included in the definition of which the joint
   or cut forms part or to which the greater part of such joint
   or cut conforms.
   RETAILERS TO EXHIBIT PRICE ORDERS AND TICKET MEAT
6. (1) It shall be the duty of every retailer whose business
   includes the selling of any meat to which this price order
   relates to keep a copy of the price order or a statement
   of the retail prices fixed thereby in respect of
   such meat prominently displayed in his shop in such a
   position that customers may examine the price order or statement without having to ask for its production or without
   having to obtain permission to examine it.
   (2) Every retailer who offers or exposes for sale any
   joints or cuts of meat to which this order applies shall affix
   to each joint or cut a ticket, placard, or label on which the
   total retail price of the joint or cut shall be stated in legible
   and prominent characters.
   (3) In the case of any meat to which this order applies
   which, in accordance with the customary practice within
   the trade, is offered or exposed for sale, otherwise than by
   the joint or cut, the retailer shall affix to or keep in a
   prominent position in such proximity to the meat to which
   it relates as to be obviously in relation thereto a ticket,
   placard, or label showing in legible and prominent characters the retail price per pound or, where in accordance
   with the customary practice within the trade the meat is
   offered or exposed for sale otherwise than by weight, the price
   per unit.
   (4) In any case where meat to which this order applies is
   not readily identifiable with the description thereof set out in
   the price order displayed, the retailer shall affix to the meat
   a ticket, placard, or label giving a description so that it is
   readily identifiable with the description set out in the price
   order.
