This Act prohibits the purchase of any agricultural produce from the primary producer thereof subject to a condition that the purchase price of the agricultural produce shall be regarded in whole or in part as a credit for the purpose of enabling the seller of such produce to make future purchases of any kind from the purchaser. If the offence is committed by a holder of a licence issued under section 11 of the Trade Act or the Control of Livestock Act, the licence may cancelled by court.
