Display and announcement of auctioneer’s name
9 Display and announcement of auctioneer’s name
For section 95(2) of the Act, an auctioneer who conducts an auction must display at the auction the auctioneer’s name—
in a conspicuous position so it is clearly visible; and
for the entire period of the auction.
However, subsection (1) does not apply if the display of the auctioneer’s name in the way stated in subsection (1) would be ineffective because—
the exposure of the place where the auction is held to the elements prevents the effective display; or
Example—
a livestock auction conducted outdoors
the auctioneer needs to change location to conduct the auction, to the extent the display of the auctioneer’s name would be ineffective without repositioning the name.
Example—
an auction where it is necessary for the auctioneer to move from item to item, for example, an auction of large machinery items
If subsection (2) applies, the auctioneer must announce the auctioneer’s name at the start of the auction.
