Originally posted by tractor View PostOld Greg is right and whilst we are getting back on the topic of the thread, it's title seems to imply and actually STATES (and this is where we all came in) that if you cede control within the EAA and Conduct Regs context, that equates to a master/servant relationship in the context of IR35.
To which you say "I say it does, and by making a declaration of opting into the "Conduct Regs" you are as a consequence declaring that you have handed over predominant control of yourself and your PSC to your hirer."
Many of us disagree and you have spectacularly failed to persuade otherwise. Just because you have a criminal judgement in your favour over one part of two distinct regulations that are notoriously difficult to interpret and where the judiciary, civil or criminal regularly fail to agree and which is desperately short of case law, you think and offer it as a fait accompli because it suits your own perspective.
It is not. I see it as just another piece of FUD that agents will use to elbow contractors into opting out when they do not wish to.
And once again, there is no legal definition of a PSC. Lastly, predominant control, which seems to be a term coined by the judge in this case to clarify the meaning of 'control' is entirely different to 'Direction and control' within the meaning of IR35.
Whether you wish to agree or disagree with that reasoning, is completely your choice and one that I respect your right to make.
There will be many further readers of this thread who can make their own decisions, one way or another.
I feel I have achieved the purpose of bringing this issue to your attention.
My job is done here.
Best of luck with your future. I have enjoyed sparring with you.
