Defences concerning packaging of pre-packed bread . (1) It is a defence in proceedings under section 10 against a person who packs bread (to the extent that the proceedings concern the requirement that a name or address be marked on the package) if it is established that the bread was packed on premises for sale on those premises to a person for consumption or use and not for resale. (2) It is a defence in proceedings under section 10 against a person who sells pre-packed bread (to the extent that the proceedings concern the requirement that a name or address be marked on the package) if it is established that the pre-packed bread was sold on the premises on which it was packed and was so sold for consumption or use and not for resale. (3) It is a defence in proceedings under section 10 against a person who sells pre-packed bread if it is established that the seller's general defence under this Part applies. 12. Restrictions on use of certain expressions on packages. (1) A person who packs bread as pre-packed bread or sells pre-packed bread is guilty of an offence if, except as authorized by the regulations, there is marked on the package- (a) the expression "net mass when packed" or "net mass at standard condition", or any other words that have a similar meaning to those words; or (b) any other expression directly or indirectly relating to the measurement of the bread or the size of the package that is prescribed by the regulations (including by being specified
1194 Trade Measurement ( Bread ) Act 1990, No. 69 or described by reference to its meaning or effect) as prohibited or restricted expression. Penalty: 75 penalty units. (2) It is a defence in proceedings under this section against a person who sells pre-packed bread if it is established that the seller' s general defence under this Part applies. 13. Incorrect pricing of pre-packed bread . (1) A person who sells pre-packed bread at a specified price for each unit of measurement of the bread is guilty of an offence if the price of the pre-packed bread exceeds the price correctly computed by reference to the measurement of the bread and the stated price for each unit of measurement. Penalty: 300 penalty units. (2) If the measurement of pre-packed bread is stated by reference to a minimum measurement, any amount by which the actual measurement exceeds that stated minimum measurement shall be disregarded in calculating the correct price for the purposes of subsection M. (3) This section applies whether or not the price of the bread and the price for each unit of measurement of the bread- (a) is required by this Act to be marked on the package containing the bread; or (b) is in fact so marked. (4) It is a defence in proceedings under this section if it is established that the seller's general defence under this Part applies. 14. Offence of packing or selling short measure. (1) If the actual measurement of the quantity of pre-packed bread is less than the measurement or minimum measurement marked on the package (whether or not marked for the purpose of complying with this Act)- (a) the person who packed the bread is guilty of an offence; and (b) a person who sells the bread is guilty of an offence. Penalty: 300 penalty units. (2) If more than one measurement is marked on a package, the prosecution is entitled to rely on any of those measurements to establish an offence against this section unless the context in which the measurement appears indicates that it is not to be taken to be a representation as to the measurement of the quantity of the bread. (3) The marking of a measurement on a package must make such allowance for any likely reduction over time in the actual measurement of the bread as may be necessary to prevent the commission of an offence under this section in relation to the bread.
Trade Measurement (Bread) Act 1990, No. 69 1195 (4) A measurement or minimum measurement marked on or near a receptacle containing pre-packed bread so as to constitute a representation as to the measurement or minimum measurement of the quantity of the bread is, for the purposes of this section, regarded as being marked on the package. 15. Extent of deficiency necessary to constitute short measure. (1) For the purposes of section 14 the- actual measurement of pre-packed bread ("the offending bread") shall not be regarded as being less than a marked measurement unless- (a) the deficiency in actual measurement of the offending bread is greater than the deficiency permitted by the regulations for the bread concerned; or (b) the deficiency in the average of the actual measurements of a number of like breads (found in the same place and at the same time as the offending bread is found) is greater than the deficiency permitted by the regulations for the bread concerned. (2) The regulations may- (a) make provision with respect to the method to be used in determining the average measurement under subsection (1) (b) and the number of like breads to be measured for that purpose; and (b) provide that the deficiency permitted in the average of measurements determined under subsection (1) (b) is nil; and (c) make different provision according to how long after packaging of the bread the measurements concerned are made. (3) This section does not apply in a case where the number of like breads (found in the same place and at the same time as the offending bread is found and available for measurement by an inspector) is not sufficient for the purposes of a determination under subsection (1) (b) in accordance with the regulations. 16. Defences concerning short measure . (1) It is a defence in proceedings under section 14 against a person who packs pre-packed bread if it is established that the deficiency in measurement- (a) arose after the packing of the bread and the marking of the package and was attributable wholly to factors for which reasonable allowance was made in stating the measurement marked on the package; or (b) resulted from something that the defendant could not reasonably have foreseen or for which the defendant could not reasonably have made allowance.
1196 Trade Measurement ( Bread ) Act 1990, No. 69 (2) It is a defence in proceedings under section 14 against a person who sells pre-packed bread if it is established- (a) that the defendant obtained the bread from another person within Australia who packed the bread or sold it to the defendant and the defendant identified that other person to an inspector; and (b) that the package containing the bread was marked apparently as required by this Act when the defendant received it; and (c) that the defendant sold the bread in the same state as it was in when the defendant obtained it. (3) The defence under subsection (2) is not available to a defendant in relation to the sale of pre-packed bread ("the offending bread") if- (a) a finding by an inspector in relation to other pre-packed bread sold by the defendant indicated that its sale would have been an offence under section 14 had that defence not been available; and (b) that other pre-packed bread was of the same kind, and had the same measurement marked on the package, as the offending bread; and (c) the inspector informed the defendant of that finding before the sale of the offending bread; unless the defendant establishes that the offending bread was not in the defendant's possession when the defendant was informed of the inspector's finding. (4) It is not a defence in proceedings under section 14 merely to establish that the deficiency in measurement did not exist when the bread was packed or when the package was marked. 17. Seller' s general defence. If a provision of this Part provides that it is a defence to specified proceedings if it is established that the seller's general defence under this Part applies, it is a defence to those proceedings if it is established that- (a) the defendant did not pack or alter the packaging of the bread; and (b) the offence resulted from something that the defendant could not reasonably have foreseen or for which the defendant could not reasonably have made allowance. 18. Employee ' s general defence . It is a defence in proceedings against a person for an offence under this Part for packing bread as
Trade Measurement ( Bread ) Act 1990, No. 69 1197 pre-packed bread if the person establishes that the person packed the bread as an employee only. 19. Regulations concerning methods of measurement . For the purposes of this Part- (a) the measurement of pre-packed bread shall be determined in accordance with any applicable methods and procedures provided for in the regulations; and (b) a measurement so determined shall be regarded as the measurement of the bread.

Evidence-analyst's certificate.
