"to approve the issue by the Wellington Wholesale Hardware Merchants Association of a price list for woodscrews prepared by the Guild subject to the condition that the Association reports to the Commission within 4 months of the date of this decision commenting in detail upon the reasons why the prices at wholesale, industrial user and retail level are considered to be rational and reasonable having regard to current costs, turnover or capital employed and other relevant factors.

It is a further condition of this decision that the following words appear prominently on all price lists issued.

‘The retail prices set out herein are recommended prices only and higher or lower prices may be charged without risk of incurring sanctions of any kind. The Association makes no recommendation as to the appropriate discount to be offered to any customer or class of customer.’

In relation to the future, the Commission notes that any material change in the margins or method of pricing of woodscrews constitutes sufficient ground for the Examiner to apply for a review of this approval."
