No goodwill may be paid in respect of any other aspect of a milk vending business as hereinbefore defined.

The foregoing provisions of this determination shall be interpreted subject to the power of the Board from time to time to fix different maxima pursuant to the provisions of subsection (3) of section 32 of the Milk Act 1967.

For the purpose of the foregoing provisions of this determination—

(a) Milk sold retail is that sold to commercial users or consumers in quantities of less than 12 litres in each lot delivered.

(b) Milk sold wholesale is that sold to commercial users or consumers in quantities of 12 litres and over in each lot delivered or sold to occupiers of shop dairies in any quantity.

(c) “Shop dairy” means any shop where milk is sold for consumption or use off the premises, and where the milk so sold is sold in the form in which it was received into the shop.

(d) Milk does not include cream.

Notice is also hereby given that the New Zealand Milk Board has also determined, pursuant to section 32 of the Milk Act 1967, that, as from and including the 1st day of July 1974, the maximum price which may be charged by any milk vendor (as that term is defined in section 2 of the Milk Act 1967) who operates but does not own a milk round (as that term is defined in section 2 of the Milk Act 1967) for goodwill on the sale of the business of such vendor shall not exceed in respect of the sale of such business a sum of $1.

This determination replaces the previous determination of the New Zealand Milk Board, notice of which was published in the New Zealand Gazette of 15 November 1973, No. 105, at page 2365.

This determination shall apply throughout New Zealand.

Dated at Wellington this 14th day of June 1974.
