PURSUANT to the Control of Prices Act 1947, the Price Tribunal hereby makes the following price order.

PRELIMINARY

1. This order may be cited as Price Order No. 2225 and shall come into force on the 9th day of April 1973.

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.
   "Marlborough and Nelson Pricing District" means the City of Nelson and the Counties of Golden Bay, Waimea, Marlborough, Awatere, Kaikoura, Amuri, and Cheviot 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 Marlborough and Nelson 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 notwithstanding that any meat to which this order applies is sold otherwise than by weight.
