Price Order No. 2229 (Retail Lamb, Hogget, and Mutton Prices, Southland Meat Pricing District)

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. 2229 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.

“Southland Pricing District” means the City of Invercargill and the Counties of Fiord, Wallace, Southland, and Clutha 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 Southland 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.

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 Southland 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.
