Guide for using this reprint
What the reprint includes
Endnotes, Compilation table, and Table of provisions that have not come into operation
1.Details about the original regulations and legislation that has amended its text are shown in the Compilation table in endnote 1, at the back of the reprint. The table also shows any previous reprint.
2.Transitional, savings, modifying or other provisions identified in the Compilation table may be important. The table may refer to another endnote setting out the text of these provisions in full.
3.A table of provisions that have not come into operation, to be found in endnote 1a if it is needed, lists any provisions of the regulations being reprinted that have not come into operation and any amendments that have not come into operation. The full text is set out in another endnote that is referred to in the table.
Notes amongst text (italicised and within square brackets)
1.If the reprint includes a regulation that was inserted, or has been amended, since the regulations being reprinted were made, editorial notes at the foot of the regulation give some history of how the regulation came to be as it is. If the regulation replaced an earlier regulation, no history of the earlier regulation is given (the full history of the regulations is in the Compilation table).
Notes of this kind may also be at the foot of Schedules or headings.
2.The other kind of editorial note shows something has been —
•removed (because it was repealed or deleted from the law); or
•omitted under the Reprints Act 1984 s. 7(4) (because, although still technically part of the text, it no longer has any effect).
The text of anything removed or omitted can be found in an earlier reprint (if there is one) or one of the written laws identified in the Compilation table.
Reprint numbering and date
1.The reprint number (in the footer of each page of the document) shows how many times the regulations have been reprinted. For example, numbering a reprint as “Reprint 3” would mean that the reprint was the 3rd reprint since the regulations were published. Reprint numbering was implemented as from 1 January 2003.
2.The information in the reprint is current on the date shown as the date as at which the regulations are reprinted. That date is not the date when the reprint was published by the State Law Publisher and it is probably not the date when the most recent amendment had effect.

5.System or method of calculating payment
The sums of money to be paid by the Processor to the Grower in respect of the raising and production of broiler chickens pursuant to this agreement shall be determined by means of the Pool System or by any other method of calculation based on the growing fee agreed by the parties from time to time after consultation with the Committee.
6.Calculation of payment to Grower under Pool System
Where the Pool System is to be used for the determination of the payment to be made to the Grower then, unless the Grower is excluded from the pool payment calculation pursuant to clause 7, the Processor will calculate the liveweight price per kilogram for each batch grown by the Grower in accordance with the following provisions by pooling the result of batches from all growers in the same pool: —
(a)The total growing costs of all birds picked up during the pool period from each grower in the pool growing the similar stock who is not excluded from the pool payment calculation pursuant to clause 7 shall be added up and these growing costs shall comprise the following expenses and notional amounts during the pool period, from each grower referred to above i.e. chickens, feed and medication supplied by the Processor and growing fee (notionally payable on the pick‑up of each batch).
(b)The total growing costs determined pursuant to paragraph (a) shall be divided by the total number of kilograms of liveweight birds picked up during the pool period from each grower in the pool other than any grower excluded from the pool payment calculation pursuant to clause 7.
(c)The figure thus calculated is the liveweight price per kilogram for all broiler chickens grown during the pool period by each grower.
(d)The liveweight price per kilogram thus determined will then be applied to the Grower’s batch picked up during the pool period to give the gross proceeds of the Grower. From the gross proceeds of the Grower will be deducted the costs of chickens, feed and medication supplied to the Grower by the Processor in respect of that batch.
(e)Payment will be made by the Processor to the Grower by means of an interim payment within fourteen (14) days of the final pick‑up of the broiler chickens from the farm for that batch pending final payment, and the final payment will be made within fourteen (14) days after the completion of the pool period. Both periods of days referred to in this paragraph may be varied by mutual agreement from time to time.
(f)Where there are wide fluctuations in price or quality of feed and/or day old chicken prices within the pool period the Processor will have the right to adjust the pool at such time as these wide fluctuations occur.
(g)The calculations referred to in this clause shall apply only in respect of growers growing similar stock so that there will be different pool calculations for growers of other types of poultry.
(h)All calculations in respect of this clause shall be made available in detail to the Committee, and may be made available to an independent Public Accountant acceptable to the Grower and Processor who will verify the Processor’s calculations and will if required by the Grower qualify his individual result. If the fault lies with the Processor, all costs will be paid by the Processor. If the fault does not lie with the Processor, all costs will be paid by the Grower.
The Processor reserves the right —
(a)to exclude any grower from a pool payment calculation under clause 6 prior to the supply to that grower of a batch of chickens if —
(i)the normal requirements of broiler growing have not been observed by that grower;
(ii)that grower is in breach of his contract with the Processor; or
(iii)that grower is not an efficient grower;
(b)to exclude any grower from a pool payment calculation under clause 6 if the results of that grower in the pool are seriously impaired due to any circumstances whether those circumstances are beyond the control of the grower or not.
8.Payment to the Grower where excluded from Pool
(1)Subject to subclause (2) where the Grower is excluded from the pool payment calculation in respect of a particular pool the Grower shall be paid, in respect of birds marketed from the batch concerned, an amount, determined by negotiation between the parties having regard to the growing fee and all other relevant factors.
(2)Where the Grower —
(a)has provided the relevant cooling facilities and supervision pursuant to clause 3(a)(v) and (vi); and
(b)is excluded from the pool payment calculation in respect of a particular pool as a result of his results in that pool being seriously impaired by heatwave conditions,
the Grower shall be paid the full growing fee in respect of all birds marketed from the batch concerned.
AND IT IS FURTHER EXPRESSLY AGREED AND DECLARED as follows:
9.Termination date for raising of batch
The Processor has the sole right to decide at what time the raising and production of a batch of chickens supplied by it shall terminate. If the raising of a batch is terminated ten (10) days or more before the average age at which normally caught and loaded by the Processor or continues for ten (10) days or more after that average age, then the Grower shall be suitably compensated.
10.Liability for insurable losses
The Grower shall not be liable to the Processor for any losses suffered by the Processor by reason of the death or sickness of any of the Processor’s chickens resulting from fire, storm or tempest against which the Processor can insure; PROVIDED THAT in the event of the chickens or any of them being neglected or not properly cared for by the Grower or the Grower not complying with his obligations set out in this agreement or the Grower not complying with any reasonable advice tendered by the Processor as to the care, medication, vaccination or raising or pick‑up of the chickens, then it shall be lawful for the Processor at the expense in all things of the Grower either to engage an employee or employees to raise and produce the chickens or remove the same or do both such things and in such event the Processor shall be at liberty to deduct from any amount otherwise due or becoming due to the Grower all expenses incurred in such action.
11.Grower an independent contractor
The Grower shall be and remain an independent contractor and shall not at any time be the servant, employee or agent of the Processor and the arrangement between the parties evidenced by this agreement shall take effect on this basis.

(g)becomes of unsound mind or incapable of providing for the rearing of birds,
then the Processor may at the expense in all things of the Grower remove any chickens and other goods supplied pursuant to this agreement from the Grower’s premises and in such event the Processor shall be at liberty to deduct from any amount otherwise due or becoming due to the Grower all expenses incurred in such action and the Processor, or its employee or agent acting with its authority, shall have full leave and licence to enter any premises on which the chickens are kept or are supposed to be kept in order to effect such removal.
(2)If the Processor —
(a)commits an act of bankruptcy; or
(b)is placed in liquidation; or
(c)enters into a composition with its creditors; or
(d)suffers execution to be levied against it; or
(e)suffers anything whereby the Grower is deprived of goods or services to be provided by the Processor pursuant to this agreement with the consequence that the performance and eventual processing of the birds being currently grown at the time of such default are adversely or detrimentally affected,
then in such case the Grower shall be at liberty to provide the goods or services and to charge the same to the Processor or (if the Grower shall incur liability in respect thereof) to recover forthwith from the Processor the amount of such liability together with all other losses or expenses incurred by the Grower by reason of the default of the Processor.
This agreement shall continue until terminated in accordance with clause 14.
This agreement may be terminated —
(a)by mutual consent of the parties;

(d)by the Grower by his becoming permanently incapable of carrying on the business of a Broiler Grower because of illness and advising the Processor in writing of such circumstances;
(e)by the Processor by written notice to the Grower where the Grower has ceased to be an efficient grower.
15.Goods unused on termination of agreement
If this agreement is terminated and any of the goods arranged to be supplied by the Processor to the Grower pursuant to this agreement remain unused, the Processor may at its option refuse to accept the return of those goods and may charge the Grower for them on the basis that they are goods sold and delivered by the Processor to the Grower. If the Processor exercises this option then the provisions of clause 3(h) shall not apply to those goods. If this agreement is renewed the Processor may elect to treat those goods as supplied under the new agreement.
16.Transfer of business by Processor
The Processor shall not be entitled to sell, lease, assign or otherwise dispose of his interest in the business in respect of which broiler chickens received pursuant to the agreement to another person who carries on or intends to carry on the business of processing broiler chickens unless the rights and benefits of the Processor under this agreement are also assigned to the purchaser pursuant to an instrument under which the purchaser undertakes to be bound by this agreement and to fulfil and carry out all of the obligations of the Processor under this agreement.
The Grower shall not be entitled to assign this agreement or the benefit hereof, without prior written consent of the Processor, but that consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(1)If any difference shall arise between the parties hereto as to anything contained in or concerning this agreement and its interpretation or touching on matters arising from the contractual relationship hereby created the parties may by mutual consent refer the point of difference to a person mutually acceptable to the parties who will arbitrate on the point of difference and his determination shall be binding on both parties.
(2)Where a point of difference has been referred to an arbitrator pursuant to subclause (1) neither party may refer that point to the Committee as a dispute for determination pursuant to section 18 of the Act unless that arbitrator has advised the parties that he is unable to make a determination on the point.
