(1) While the grower’s horticulture produce is under the control of the trader, the trader must exercise all reasonable care and skill in handling and storage to ensure that the produce remains of the highest quality possible. (2) The care and skill must be exercised until: (a) for a trader trading as an agent—the ownership of the produce passes to a purchaser of the produce; or (b) for a trader trading as a merchant—the ownership of the produce passes to the merchant.
Note: See clause 34 for when ownership passes to the merchant.
