Commerce Act 1986

Regulated goods or services - Electricity lines services - Transitional arrangements

54O: Breaches of control imposed, or administrative settlements entered into, after 1 April 2009

You could also call this:

"Rules for breaking agreements made after 1 April 2009"

Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

If you breach a control or settlement after 1 April 2009, you might be dealt with under Part 6. This is like breaching a customised price-quality path. You can be dealt with this way even if the control or settlement says something different.

If you are a supplier, this rule applies to you whether or not you have to follow default or customised price-quality rules after 1 April 2009. The rule is clear, so you know what to expect.

You can find more information about this in section 54N(3) and Part 6, which are part of the Commerce Act 1986, and the Commerce Amendment Act 2008 that amended it.

  1. If a supplier breaches control imposed, or an administrative settlement entered into, in accordance with section 54N(3), the breach may be dealt with under Part 6 as if it were a breach of a customised price-quality path, despite anything in the terms of the control or settlement.

  2. To avoid doubt, this section applies whether or not the supplier is, after 1 April 2009, subject to default/customised price-quality regulation.
