Fellow contractors attitutes to IR35

[malvolio]

Would the PCG support something like this? My view is that the agency has the responsibility - they write both contracts, and will not allow me to see the Agency / Client contract. If they ask me to sign a contract in the knowledge that the terms cannot be met, then that is a sueing issue for me

They had a good test case recently, but the poor guy had just come out of a four year IR35 investigation and lost and he wasn't really minded to start all over again. Can't say I blame him, myself.

Thing is, the PCG can't do this in isolation, it has to come from an individual: all PCG (or any similar body) can do is provide financial and legal support to run the case.

And the bit which is beyond insanity, is that you have to make a decision on your IR35 status which in part is dictated by a contract you've never seen (and have no right to see).

But surely that's nuts? All you can do is go on the information which is available to you at the time? Surely if you keep email evidence from an agency saying that the T+Cs are mirrored, you should be OK?

It's only fair
