Episode description

Uber is now trialling 'Uber Pet', which allows people to ride with their pet. With 4 in every 10 Australian households owning a dog, it's a service many of us will be interested in. However, this raises questions on how the laws surrounding dogs in cars would apply. Law grads Jacqueline White and Monique Messenger discuss: - The NSW legislation governing the rules and regulations of restraining dogs in cars - Penalties faced, including potential fines and imprisonment - Who might be liable if legislation is breached when 'Riding with pets': the owner, driver, or the corporation Uber itself?
