Western Australian Numbered Acts (1) For the purposes
of this Act, an "owner-driver contract” is a contract (whether written
or oral or partly written and partly oral) entered into in the course of
business by an owner-driver with another person for the transport of goods in
a heavy vehicle by the owner-driver.
(2) It does not matter
that an owner-driver contract provides for an owner-driver to perform services
other than transporting goods, as long as the services to be performed under
the contract predominantly relate to the transport of goods.
(3) To avoid doubt, an
owner-driver contract does not include a contract that is a contract of
employment.
