Originally posted by eek View PostLet's look at the contract and a finance contract in regards to the judgement:-
SDC - Mr Lee had in practicea considerable degree of operational and personal autonomy but was subject to overarchingcontrols primarily concerned with Nationwide’s need as a highly regulated business to monitor the progress of the relevant project consistent with Mr Lee being a highly skilledemployee. However, Mr Lee could not be moved to a different project without his consent
MoO - There was a mutuality of obligation between the parties but only within each contract (it's enough).
MoO within each contract - this is based on what? is this like RoS now, that to prove there is no MoO you have to effectively leave with no notice half way through the contract just to say there is no MoO?Comment

Originally posted by dsc View PostHow is this different to any other contract anywhere else? surely every client monitors work to some extent. Wasn't SDC about being told how to do work at any point in the process?

Originally posted by Pring View PostMy understanding of the purpose of a CoA is that it isn't to be used in court but at the first stage of an enquiry when HMRC is still fishing for info. The CoA may be enough to put them off progressing it further since if the client is willing to put that down on paper then presumably they'd say the same when questioned directly. As you'll be aware though, that's often not the case so it may just be ignored these days. No harm in having one though, and at the least it's proof that you took reasonable steps to confirm understanding with the client.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostI think it just points to control being more contentious for a highly skilled contractor (which, I agree, applies to many or most of us). To turn control away from a neutral to being a positive, you need to have more control than an equivalent permie. Remember that specialist permies have a reasonable degree of control.
Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostNo, it means that neither party is obligated to offer work or to accept work during the contract. Examples might be business interruption where contractors are given no work and permies take up the slack or a project getting canned or the contractor refusing to take additional work, not already contracted for completion.Comment

Originally posted by dsc View PostFine but so far doing everything on your own independently was enough to prove lack of SDC, are we saying this is not enough now? And that someone asking you how it's going is somehow control?
Again, fine and this is how I assumed MoO works, but what if none of those interruptions actually happen? Say you get a contract for a month, there's enough work for a month and you don't can it for a month, but instead complete the work, is this now MoO? HMRC can claim the same bulltulip like with RoS, that just because it's in the contract isn't enough. What if the client say they could've moved you to smth else if they wanted?merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
