(4) An interested third party may be a party to a supply contract between a mill owner and a grower. (5) Each of the parties to a supply contract must sign the contract. 32 Individual contract An individual contract— (a) is a supply contract made directly between a grower and a mill owner; and (b) may be for all or part of the supply of cane grown by the grower. 33 Collective contract (1) A collective contract is a supply contract made between 2 or more growers (a group of growers) and a mill owner.

(2) The grower and mill owner are taken to have made an agreement (the referral agreement)— (a) to refer the dispute to arbitration; and (b) for the dispute to be arbitrated under the Commercial Arbitration Act 2013 subject to subsections (5) to (9).

(8) Without limiting subsection (7), a term of the intended supply contract would have the effect of unreasonably treating the grower less favourably for the subsection if the effect were that the grower would unreasonably pay more for a service provided by the mill owner under the intended supply contract than the grower would pay for the service if a mill-related entity were the GEI sugar marketing entity. (9) Each party must bear the party’s own costs of the arbitration. (10) If the arbitral tribunal decides each dispute about the proposed terms of the intended supply contract, the grower and mill owner are taken to have made a supply contract including— (a) any terms agreed between the parties; and (b) the terms decided by the arbitral tribunal.

(3) However, subsection (2)(d) does not apply if the supply contract states that the mill owner will sell the on-supply sugar.
