Contractor and you sign and retain a copy for your records.  \n## Who do we act for?\n\nWe confirm that Legal Consolidated only acts for the Principal.And when there is morethan one Principal,we only act for the first named Principal as appearing in theAgreement.Further,we only act for the Principal in their personal capacity.Where thePrincipal is acting for another person or as a trustee then we expressly do not act for thatperson or trust.  \nAll such persons,including the Contractor,need to seek their own independent legaladvice,from another law firm.  \n## No legal advice\n\nThe laws on employment law and contractors change on an ongoing basis.We are notproviding you with any advice,including employment law,contract law,taxation,FringeBenefit Tax,Workers Compensation or superannuation advice.Further,we haveperformed no due diligence or given advice as to the nature of your relationship with theContractor,or your obligations or the work to be performed by the Contractor.  \nYou need to seek your own advice on such matters.  \nThe information below is of a general nature only.You should speak with your lawyer,accountant and financial planner before you sign this agreement.  \n## What is the difference between an Independent Contractor/Agent and anemployee?\n\nAn independent contractor acts on behalf of the principal.This is pursuant to a contractfor services.In contrast,an employee is employed in the business of the employer,undera contract of service.An employee is subject to the direction and control of the employer.  \nIn practice it is often difficult to distinguish between a contractor and an employee.This isespecially where the contractor's business is wholly or principally concerned with yourbusiness.It is easier to prove an ndependent Contractor's relationship where thecontractor contracts to many principals.Also,various statutes extend the strict definitionof 'employee'to include legitimate independent contracts.  \nThe classic test for the existence of an employment relationship was stated by BramwellLJ in Yewens v Noakes:'A ser","cbCaimOU4F9daD6O","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimOU4F9daD6O","pdf",6455747,"English","#
