(1)The Minister may by regulations made under this Act prescribe such designations (in this Act referred to as “grade designations”) as he may consider appropriate to indicate the quality of any articles of agricultural produce, [F1or fishery produce] and any such regulations shall contain a definition (in this Act referred to as “the statutory definition”) of the quality indicated by every grade designation thereby prescribed.
(2)Where any person sells any article of agricultural produce [F1or fishery produce] to which a grade designation is applied, then, notwithstanding any contract or notice to the contrary, it shall be deemed to be a term of the contract of sale that the quality of the article accords with the statutory definition indicated by the grade designation.
(3)For the purposes of this Act, a grade designation shall be deemed to be applied to an article if it is used by or on behalf of the vendor, when the article is sold or delivered or exposed or offered for sale, in any manner calculated to lead to the belief that the quality of the article in connection with which it is used accords with the statutory definition indicated by the grade designation.
