452.Subsection (1) defines “list price” by referring to the characteristics of an ordinary retail sale.
453.The phrase “(as the case may be)”, from section 168A(2), is retained as the simplest way of determining whose list price is to be taken. The user looks first to the manufacturer, secondly to the importer and thirdly to the distributor to find a list price.
