Agency Ending Contract Early, Not yet paid - Can IP and Work Product be withheld ?

[AussieDigger]

So shafting your own IR35 status you mean?

Not necessarily.

Not necessarily.

So we need details. Is this actually happening at all?

No insurance company of an agency is going to spend money defending an opt-out opt-in fight - that's why there is no case law its never got to court.

Equally its utterly irrelevant here - what we need to know is what reason are they giving for withholding payment

It won't be an opt/in opt/out fight per se it will be a fight to get paid using the regulations rather than the contract.

I can't see a contractor being advised by a lawyer to go that route unless it has been clearly agreed by the agency in the contract that the contractor is under the the regulations.
