Op, I do have a certain amount of sympathy. The question boils down to whether or not they breached any real contract you had with them.
Without sight and many more details nobody can know.
The first problem is "what contract". Given the contractual chain you described then it seems to me unlikely there was any contract in place between you and the end user. There may be an implied one (which would be different to the hypothetical IR35 one).
The only real contract you are likely to have is between you and your umbrella. There may be a breach. That is who you attack.
Any reasonably well written brolly contract will of course have this eventuality covered.Comment

OP I agree the normal and decent way is to give the contractor enough notice. "Most" people treat contractors like human beings and do this.
Not all and thats the important bit.
Its very scummy what they did but the point is they can do it. I'm betting, like you said, they wanted the perm to take over and, in their head, this was the easiest way. Its a poor way to treat people but it happens.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
