Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the transport agreement had to be treated analogously as an employment-like relationship for the non-compete rules
Extrahierter Entscheid
A true employment contract was excluded; even assuming an employment-like relationship, the court left the analogy open because the non-compete was valid in any event.
Extrahierte Begründung
The agreement imposed no duty to perform work for the defendant. The plaintiff could accept or refuse transport assignments, so the essential element of a work obligation was missing.
