Section 94 (5):
"A person who in accordance with the terms of an employment or undertaking holds himself ready to perform an aviation function if called upon shall be treated as carrying out an activity ancillary to the function."

Thank you for that clarification. That restores my faith in the abilities of the drafters of your country's legislation to write laws so as to have the broadest possible reach and effect! It appears the the US have not cornered that market. This particular section seems to be equivelant to the FAR 121 appendix J defininition of "performing a safety sensitive function".
ie The Act even applies (for example) to a pilot on Standby at home.
Interpretation of the definition of the term "standby" could create worries for many of us in a position of being subject to callout at any time that we are not engaged in a "required crew rest period" during which we must be free from all company duties.
Best regards,
