All of which assumes that you are investigated, that it turns into an IR35 case and that you lose. ?Yeah right...
The key is "irreducible minimum of mutuality", there will always be a degreee of mutuality since at some level if work is done payment is due. Pay for notice periods when you can do no work fail that test and are therefore an IR35 pointer. Like anyone should care in these more enlightened times.
But as I keep saying, if the client wants you out for any reason, firstly you won't have a signed timesheet so can't invoice and secondly they won't use the notice clause to stop the contract anyway so no notice is due in the first place. One day it will sink in...
