    That's interesting ! I've tried getting to the bottom of this before and was told by a senior bod in a legal/tax outfit ( off the record ) who had been dealing with IT contracting for years that the agencies would really struggle to get money out of the contractor no matter what it says in the contract regarding handcuff clauses. He went as far as saying he'd never known a contractor who has had to pay up . I would guess there are some who have lost their bottle and paid up without fighting it.

    I used to live with a solicitor and she used to laugh at some of the contracts I was given. Her attitude was if it was full of unenforceable rubbish then you might aswell sign it rather than cause a scrap up front and possibly lose the job.

      The reason I pay for B&C to do a review.

      They not only do IR35 but also advise on stuff that they want to see taken out.

      Result.

        as a rule of thumb, it's worth looking at PCG contracts to use....It makes life far simpler.
