    Thanks for the replies people, but to reiterate my main question here in a non hypothetical frame:
    Has anyone ever attempted negotiating working conditions where they were unfavourable?

    If contractors were all doing this, wouldn't it make the industry better? Why not negotiate before walking away?

      I've turned down contracts where the working practices were unfavourable. In my case I turndown contracts with working hours which mean I have to sit in traffic if I have to drive. I always state this to the agent.

        If HMRC wishes to enforce IR35 better, would it not make sense to make clients just as liable as contractors? As far as I can see, the burden lies with contractors only. Even though clients are the ones writing the contracts and setting the working conditions.
        If you're that concerned or worried just go back to Umbrella. Clients don't give a hoot about your IR35 status (unless it's Public Sector and that's another can of worms)
