Schedule 1 Transitional, savings, and related provisions

r 4

Part 1 Provisions relating to these regulations as made

There are no transitional, savings, or related provisions in these regulations as made.

Part 2 Transitional provisions relating to code when first made

Schedule 1 Part 2: inserted, on 28 September 2023, by regulation 6(a) of the Grocery Industry Competition (Grocery Supply Code) Amendment Regulations 2023 (SL 2023/220).

1 Interpretation

In this Part, unless the context otherwise requires,—

commencement means 28 September 2023

existing agreement has the same meaning as in clause 1(3)(a) of Schedule 1 of the Act

grace period means the period ending on 28 March 2024

inconsistency means an inconsistency between an existing agreement and the code of either of the following types:

(a)

an existing agreement does not specify something that clause 7 or 8 of the code requires:

(b)

an existing agreement specifies something that is inconsistent with the code.

Schedule 1 clause 1: inserted, on 28 September 2023, by regulation 6(a) of the Grocery Industry Competition (Grocery Supply Code) Amendment Regulations 2023 (SL 2023/220).

2 Main rule: code applies to supply of groceries under existing agreements except during grace period

(1)

The code applies in relation to the supply of groceries under an existing agreement.

(2)

In accordance with clause 1 of Schedule 1 of the Act, the code—

(a)

regulates or prohibits conduct, or specifies other requirements, in connection with an existing agreement, with any necessary modifications, as if the agreement were entered into or arrived at after commencement:

(b)

specifies requirements about the content or form of an existing agreement, with any necessary modifications, as if the agreement were entered into or arrived at after commencement.

(3)

This clause is subject to clauses 3 and 4.

Example

A retailer has an existing agreement with a supplier for the supply of cereal. The agreement does not cover many things that are covered by the code.

This clause provides that the retailer is bound by all of the provisions of the code except to the extent that clauses 3 and 4 give the retailer a grace period to resolve inconsistencies between the agreement and the code.

Schedule 1 clause 2: inserted, on 28 September 2023, by regulation 6(a) of the Grocery Industry Competition (Grocery Supply Code) Amendment Regulations 2023 (SL 2023/220).

Existing agreements: during grace period

Heading: inserted, on 28 September 2023, by regulation 6(a) of the Grocery Industry Competition (Grocery Supply Code) Amendment Regulations 2023 (SL 2023/220).

3 Grace period for existing agreements that are inconsistent with clause 7 or 8 of code

(1)

This clause applies if an existing agreement is inconsistent with a requirement of clause 7 or 8 of the code.

(2)

During the grace period, that requirement of the code does not apply in relation to the supply of groceries under the agreement until the date on which the provision of the agreement is varied under clause 5 of the code.

Example

An existing agreement applies to the supply of biscuits but does not specify any circumstances in which the retailer may reject biscuits. Clause 8(b) of the code provides that an agreement must specify any such circumstances.

This clause provides that the retailer has a 6-month grace period before the requirement of clause 8(b) of the code applies to the retailer.

Clause 5(2) of the code requires the retailer to offer to vary the agreement to make it consistent with clause 8(b) of the code if there are any circumstances in which the retailer may reject the biscuits.

Schedule 1 clause 3: inserted, on 28 September 2023, by regulation 6(a) of the Grocery Industry Competition (Grocery Supply Code) Amendment Regulations 2023 (SL 2023/220).

4 Grace period for existing agreements that are inconsistent with Part 4 of code

(1)

This clause applies if an existing agreement is inconsistent with a requirement of Part 4 of the code.

(2)

Example

An existing agreement provides that the retailer may reject fresh fruit only within 48 hours of delivery. Clause 21(4) of the code provides that the retailer may reject fresh produce only within 24 hours of delivery.

This clause provides that the retailer has a 6-month grace period before the requirement of clause 21(4) applies to the retailer. Until then, the code will apply with necessary modifications (that is, the rejection rule remains at 48 hours for 6 months or until the agreement is varied (whichever is earlier)).

Clause 5(2) of the code requires the retailer to offer to vary the agreement to make it consistent with clause 21(4) of the code.

Schedule 1 clause 4: inserted, on 28 September 2023, by regulation 6(a) of the Grocery Industry Competition (Grocery Supply Code) Amendment Regulations 2023 (SL 2023/220).

Existing agreements: after grace period

Heading: inserted, on 28 September 2023, by regulation 6(a) of the Grocery Industry Competition (Grocery Supply Code) Amendment Regulations 2023 (SL 2023/220).

5 Effect of inconsistent existing agreements after grace period if variation offer made but rejected

(1)

Subclause (2) applies after the grace period ends if—

(a)

a retailer complies with clause 5(2) of the code in respect of an inconsistency between an existing agreement and a requirement of clause 7 or 8 of the code; and

(b)

the offer is a reasonable offer; and

(c)

the supplier rejects the offer.

(2)

A contravention of that requirement of clause 7 or 8 of the code by the retailer does not give rise to a pecuniary penalty.

(3)

Subclause (2) applies despite regulation 6.

Example

An existing agreement does not specify the period within which the retailer must pay the supplier for fresh fruit, as required by clause 8(c) of the code. The retailer offers to vary the agreement to specify that the retailer must pay the supplier within 3 months of the supplier’s invoice. The supplier thinks that this is unreasonably long and rejects the variation offer.

The retailer would not be in breach of clause 8 of the code (by reason of being a party to an existing agreement that is inconsistent with the code) if the retailer has made a reasonable variation offer.

However, Part 4 of the code applies after the grace period ends. If the retailer waits to pay the supplier until just before the 3-month period expires, the retailer may be liable for a pecuniary penalty for failure to comply with clause 12(1)(b) of the code. Clause 12(1)(b) requires retailers to pay suppliers within a reasonable time after receiving the supplier’s invoice, regardless of the time frame set out in the agreement.

The supplier may refer the dispute to the dispute resolution process provided for in the Act, because the dispute (about the period within which the retailer must pay the supplier for the groceries) arises from requirements under the grocery supply code.

Schedule 1 clause 5: inserted, on 28 September 2023, by regulation 6(a) of the Grocery Industry Competition (Grocery Supply Code) Amendment Regulations 2023 (SL 2023/220).

6 Effect of other inconsistent existing agreements after grace period

(1)

Subclause (2) applies after the grace period ends if there continues to be an inconsistency between a provision of an existing agreement and a requirement of Part 4 of the code.

(2)

A contravention of that requirement of the code by the retailer in respect of that provision may give rise to a pecuniary penalty.

Example

An existing agreement specifies that the supplier is required to make payments as compensation for shrinkage (the loss of grocery products due to theft or accounting error). Clause 13 of the code prohibits such payments.

The retailer would not be in breach of clause 8 of the code (by reason of being party to an existing agreement that is inconsistent with the code) if the retailer has made a reasonable variation offer (see clause 5).

However, if the retailer continues to require such payments, the retailer may be liable for a pecuniary penalty for failure to comply with clause 13 of the code.

The supplier may refer the dispute to the dispute resolution process provided for in the Act because the dispute arises from requirements under the grocery supply code if the amount in dispute (that is, the amount of the payment that the retailer is requiring for shrinkage) is less than $5 million.

Schedule 1 clause 6: inserted, on 28 September 2023, by regulation 6(a) of the Grocery Industry Competition (Grocery Supply Code) Amendment Regulations 2023 (SL 2023/220).

Existing agreements: miscellaneous provisions

Heading: inserted, on 28 September 2023, by regulation 6(a) of the Grocery Industry Competition (Grocery Supply Code) Amendment Regulations 2023 (SL 2023/220).

7 Clause 9 of code

Clause 9 of the code does not apply during the grace period.

Schedule 1 clause 7: inserted, on 28 September 2023, by regulation 6(a) of the Grocery Industry Competition (Grocery Supply Code) Amendment Regulations 2023 (SL 2023/220).

8 Other remedies

See also clause 1(2) of Schedule 1 of the Act.

Example

An existing agreement specifies that the supplier is required to make payments as compensation for shrinkage. Clause 13 of the code prohibits such payments.

The retailer continues to require such payments after the grace period ends. The supplier refuses to pay. The supplier is not in breach of the agreement, so the retailer has no remedy for breach of contract. The retailer cannot charge a penalty under the agreement for what the retailer considers to be an unpaid amount.

Schedule 1 clause 8: inserted, on 28 September 2023, by regulation 6(a) of the Grocery Industry Competition (Grocery Supply Code) Amendment Regulations 2023 (SL 2023/220).
