(4) [Revoked]

(5) Where the Board employs an authorised broker in connection with the sale of wheat for export, it may in its discretion pay to the broker, in addition to or in substitution for the commission authorised by subclause (4) of this regulation, reasonable remuneration for his services in respect of that employment.

(7) Every authorised broker shall from time to time make to the Board such returns in respect of the business done by him on behalf of the Board as the Board may require.

(1) Subject to the provisions of this regulation, an authorised broker shall not purchase wheat on behalf of the Board unless a purchaser is available to purchase the wheat from the Board.

• (c) No part of the contract price payable by the Board to a seller shall be assignable or charged otherwise than by operation of law.

(2) For any harvest the Board may make it a condition of the purchase of wheat by the Board that part of the contract price shall be retained by the Board and held by it to provide for any losses in marketing and for the costs of storing and handling any wheat that may be declared by the Board to be surplus to requirements, and in every such case the payment to sellers shall be made by an initial payment of a major portion of the contract price, and, when financial results of the harvest are known, by one or more subsequent payments from any balance of the retained portion of the contract price:

Provided that the Board may carry a small balance forward and take it into account in subsequent years.

• (d) Where the wheat is rejected by the Board on delivery,—

  • (i) Paragraph (c) of this subclause shall apply as if the amount rejected were the amount of shortfall; and

  • (ii) If the seller sells any such wheat (including a sale to the Board of wheat that is not milling standard wheat or is otherwise free wheat within the meaning of the Act) the proceeds of sale shall be subject to a charge in favour of the Board for all money owing by the seller to the Board in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subclause.

• (b) No person, having bought wheat from the Board for the manufacture for sale of wheat products for human consumption, shall use that wheat for any other purpose.

(1) If any dispute arises as to whether or not any wheat offered to an authorised broker for sale to the Board is milling standard wheat, or if any dispute arises as to whether or not any weight deductions to equate the price of the wheat to milling standard wheat have been properly made, or if any dispute arises as to whether or not any wheat delivered in fulfilment of any contract of purchase or sale entered into by an authorised broker on behalf of the Board is in accordance with the contract in respect of kind, quality, or condition, the dispute shall be determined by a grader authorised by the Board, whose decision shall be final and binding on all parties to the dispute:

Provided that if any such dispute relates to the moisture content or the milling or baking quality of the wheat, the dispute shall be determined by the Director of the Wheat Research Institute, whose decision shall be final and binding on all parties to the dispute.

(2) In any dispute under this regulation, samples shall be drawn in accordance with any method acceptable to the Board.

(3) If any other dispute arises between the parties to any contract entered into by an authorised broker on behalf of the Board, or between an authorised broker and the Board, or between an authorised broker and any seller or purchaser of wheat to or from the Board relating to any matter concerning the functions and powers of the Board, the dispute shall be determined by arbitration under the Arbitration Act 1908, and this subclause shall be deemed to be a submission within the meaning of that Act.

(5) The only deductions which may be made from any such weights shall be the customary tare per sack or deductions made in accordance with these regulations for the purpose of equating the price of wheat to the price of milling standard wheat.

(1) Every grower of wheat shall, when required to do so by notice published by the Board, make a return to the Board showing as at a date specified in the notice—

• (a) The quantity of each variety of wheat grown by him in the season to which the notice relates; and

• (b) The quantity of each variety of wheat so grown by him but not at the date of the return sold and delivered.

(2) Every manufacturer of wheat products for human consumption carrying on business in New Zealand shall, on or before the 7th day of each month, make to the Board a return showing full particulars of all wheat purchased by him and of all wheat delivered to him during the last preceding month pursuant to purchases made by him and particulars of his stocks of all such wheat and of flour on hand on the last day of that month.

(3) The Board, or its duly authorised representative, may require any person to give to it any information in that person's possession, and to produce any books or documents in his possession or under his control, relating to the sale, purchase, transport, or storage of any wheat, whether grown in New Zealand or elsewhere, and of whatever season's crop, and whether that person is a party to the sale or purchase or not.

(4) All returns under this regulation shall be in such form as the Board from time to time notifies in that behalf.

(5) Every manufacturer of wheat products for human consumption shall permit any officer of the Board, or any other person appointed by the Board for the purpose, at all reasonable times to take samples of wheat in the possession of the manufacturer or held by any person on his behalf.

(3) The broker shall pay to the Board the purchase money of all wheat purchased by him under this regulation in cash on the delivery of the wheat to the broker.

(4) Except with the permission of the Board, it shall not be lawful for a broker who has purchased seed wheat under this regulation to dispose of the wheat otherwise than by sale as seed wheat to farmers.

(5) If with the permission of the Board a broker at the end of the season for sowing disposes of the balance of his stock of seed wheat in some other manner and at a price lower than the price at which he acquired the wheat, the Board may reimburse him for the loss incurred on the sale to the extent to which, in the opinion of the Board, his acquisitions of seed wheat were justifiable.

No wheat sold by the Board for export from New Zealand shall be resold within New Zealand without the approval of the Board.

(1) Every miller gristing wheat and selling flour under the authority of section 33(4) of the Act shall, not later than the third day of every month, supply to the Board particulars of all wheat so gristed and all sales of flour so made during the last preceding month.

(2) In computing sales of flour for the purposes of the monthly quota fixed under section 35(1) of the Act in respect of any miller, all sales by that miller to which subclause (1) of this regulation relates shall be taken into account as if they had been sales of flour effected by the Board as part of that monthly quota.

(3) Any consent given by the Board under section 33(4) of the Act may at any time be revoked by notice given by the Board to the miller concerned.

If in any case the Board is of the opinion that sufficient stocks of wheat and flour are not being stored in any mill to provide a reasonable carry over of stock for the next ensuing season the Board may reduce the monthly quota fixed under section 35(2) of the Act in order that a reasonable carry over of stocks of wheat and flour be provided for the next ensuing season.

(1) The Board shall, in every month, endeavour to sell on behalf of every miller an amount of flour equivalent to the amount fixed as the monthly quota for the mill of that miller.

(2) Where the Board in any month oversells or undersells flour on behalf of a miller, the Board shall, as far as practicable, adjust the sales on behalf of that miller in subsequent months so as to equate sales for those months with the quota.

(3) Where a subagent of the Board purchases flour, the subagent shall resell the flour only at such prices and on such terms as the Board notifies and the subagent shall account to the Board for all proceeds of any such resale except such proceeds as he is permitted to retain by the Board.

(4) Every miller shall, on receiving notice from the Board, deliver all flour sold by the Board on his behalf at such places of delivery to such persons at such times in such quantities and generally in such manner as the Board may reasonably require.

With the approval of the Board and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board thinks fit to impose, any miller may dispose of any flour manufactured by him, and which the Board is satisfied will be used for a special purpose, otherwise than through the agency of the Board. Any such flour shall not, if the Board so determines, be taken into account as part of the quota fixed under section 35 of the Act in respect of the mill from which the flour is produced.

• (a) It shall be the duty of the purchaser to inspect the flour immediately upon its receipt in his storehouse or bakery.

• (b) If the purchaser has any complaint or dissatisfaction in respect of the sale or the condition of the flour, he shall forthwith lodge a complaint, by telegram or in writing, with the officer or agent of the Board through whom the flour was purchased. The Board shall forthwith give notice of the complaint to the miller from whom, the flour was purchased:

• (c) The complaint shall be investigated by the Board and the miller. If the complaint relates to the quality of the flour, it shall be referred to the Wheat Research Institute which shall investigate the matter and report to the Board. The purchaser shall facilitate every such investigation and comply with all reasonable requests by the Board, the miller, or the Wheat Research Institute for the purposes of the investigation:

• (d) Where any such complaint is made, the flour to which it relates shall not be used by the purchaser without the consent of the Board and the miller concerned:

• (e) Any claim which the purchaser considers he is entitled to make shall be made in writing to the General Manager of the Board within four days after the complaint is lodged: The amount of any claim made to the General Manager as aforesaid need not be specified at the time of making the claim but shall be notified to the General Manager as soon as practicable after it is reasonably ascertainable:

• (f) Compliance with the foregoing provisions of this regulation shall be a condition precedent to any effective claim in respect of any such flour and non-compliance or non-performance of any such provision shall be a defence to any claim by the purchaser for the alleged breach of any express or implied terms, conditions, or warranties relating to the sale of flour through the agency of the Board.

(1) Subject to the provisions of these regulations, the Board shall be liable for the payment of any amount owing for flour sold through the agency of the Board.

(2) The Board shall not be liable for any failure to effect a sale of flour if the failure is due to the inferior quality of the flour or the sacks in which it is contained or the failure of the miller to comply with any provision contained in a contract of sale.

(3) Any legal proceedings taken by the Board upon a contract made by the Board on behalf of a miller may be taken in the name of the miller.

(4) If the Board is the defendant in any legal proceedings relating to a contract for the sale of flour, or if in any legal proceedings instituted by the Board under any such contract a counterclaim is made, the Board may, in its discretion, join in the proceedings, as co-defendant, third party, or otherwise, the miller on whose behalf the contract was made.

(5) The Board may in any case elect not to institute or defend legal proceedings arising out of any such contract and, in any such case, the miller on whose behalf the contract was made shall be entitled to institute or defend any such proceedings on his own behalf and at his own expense. If the Board is made a party to any such proceedings, the miller shall indemnify the Board against all costs and expenses to which the Board may be liable in the proceedings.

(6) Where any legal proceedings are instituted or defended by the Board and no issue arises in the proceedings as to the quantity or the quality of the flour or otherwise relating to the flour which is the subject of the contract to which the proceedings relate and if no breach of contract on the part of or affecting the miller is alleged, the miller shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Board in respect of all costs and expenses arising out of the proceedings.

(7) Where any legal proceedings are instituted or defended by the Board or any claim is made against the Board arising out of or in any way connected with a contract for the sale of flour by the Board on behalf of a miller and an issue arises as to the quantity or the quality of the flour or otherwise relating to the flour or if any breach of contract on the part of or affecting the miller is alleged, all costs and expenses incurred by the Board in respect of the proceedings or in investigating the claim shall be paid to the Board by the miller on whose behalf the contract was made.

If any miller fails to make delivery as required by subclause (4) of regulation 19 of these regulations of any flour sold on his behalf and comprised in his monthly quota,—

• (a) The Board may substitute for the flour not delivered flour of any other miller, and enter into a new contract of sale with the purchaser:

• (b) The miller in default shall be liable to pay to the Board all claims, losses, and expenses arising out of the default or the entering into of a new contract of sale:

• (c) Any flour substituted under paragraph (a) of this regulation shall be deemed to be additional to the monthly quota of the miller on whose account the substituted flour is sold:

• (d) The Board shall reduce his monthly quota for the next month or subsequent months by such amounts as will aggregate the quantity of flour in respect of which default was made.

(1) In every month the Board shall send to every miller an account of all sales of flour and other transactions effected by the Board as the agent of the miller and shall, before a day in that month determined by the Board in that behalf, pay to the miller the amount shown by the accounts to be due to him.

(2) The Board shall be entitled to charge against any miller and deduct from any amount payable to him such sums as the Board may from time to time determine to cover the costs of its administration of Part 4 of the Act and of this Part of these regulations and any amount required for payment into any fund referred to in section 32(2) of the Act.

(3) Any amount deducted under subclause (2) of this regulation shall be proportionate to the amount of flour sold by the Board on behalf of the miller.

(4) Every miller shall, upon request, supply to the Board such information as it may require in relation to wheat purchases and flour manufactured or delivered by the miller.

(1) The Board may from time to time determine grades of flour and shall determine a grade as the minimum grade below which no flour shall be sold for manufacture into bread.

(2) Every miller shall permit any authorised officer of the Board and any expert appointed by the Board in that behalf at all reasonable times to take samples of flour under the control of the miller for the purposes of grading under this regulation.

(3) If the Board is of the opinion that any flour is below the minimum grade referred to in subclause (1) of this regulation, the Board shall notify the miller and appoint an independent expert to report on the quality of the flour. A copy of the report shall be supplied to the miller.

(4) If the report is to the effect that the flour is below the said minimum grade, the Board may reduce the monthly quota fixed in respect of the mill concerned to the extent of the amount of flour that is below the minimum grade, and may increase proportionately the monthly quotas fixed in respect of all other mills.

(5) The Board on application by any miller whose quota has been reduced under subclause (4) of this regulation may, if it is satisfied that the mill is producing sufficient flour above the aforesaid minimum grade to fill its monthly quota, restore the monthly quota of that mill and make corresponding adjustments to the quotas increased under subclause (4) of this regulation.

(6) Every independent expert appointed for the purposes of this regulation shall, where practicable, be a person nominated by the Wheat Research Institute.

(7) Any costs incurred in respect of the engagement of any such expert shall be borne by the Board, but if the report of the expert is to the effect that the flour reported on is below the minimum grade referred to in subclause (1) of this regulation, all such costs may be recovered by the Board from the miller concerned as a debt due to the Board.

The Board may arrange for the quantity of flour which would normally be supplied from the mill to be supplied from other mills in addition to the quotas allocated to those mills.

(1) Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, it is a condition of every contract for the sale of flour made by a miller through the agency of the Board that where the flour is to be delivered elsewhere than at the premises of the miller, or the miller's rail siding or station, the flour shall be at the risk of the Board while it is in transit between the miller's premises, or the miller's rail siding or station, and the Board's point of sale to the purchaser in accordance with the contract.

(2) The Board may arrange for flour sold through the agency of the Board to be insured against loss or damage while it is in transit between the miller's premises, or the miller's rail siding or station, and the Board's point of sale to the purchaser; or the Board, as agent of the miller, may indemnify any person against loss or damage to the flour while it is transit. The Board may decline such indemnity, if, in the opinion of the Board, liability for any loss or damages attaches to the miller through any act or omission of the miller. If the miller does not agree that such loss or damage is due to any act or omission of his, the dispute shall be referred to arbitration for determination in terms of the Arbitration Act 1908.

(3) Nothing in this regulation shall be deemed to affect the liability or the responsibility of any carrier in respect of any loss of or damage to flour while it is in his custody.
