    While I agree with NLUK in that if the agent thinks they wouldn't go for it then they very likely wouldn't, the fact that he wasn't even aware that the clause was in there would, in my opinion, mean that any judgement would have to disregard the agent's remarks as not particularly credible.
    EXACTLY. When we start believing odd comments from agents then we're really in trouble.

    Look at exactly what we've got here. Young lad, fresh out of carphone warehouse, now a recruitment consultant, thinks hes Bertie Big bollox. Been to a few meetings with client and now hes important.

    Got these contractors and hes the man. Hes got some power over them because he gets them gigs. They need to listen to him.

    But hes clueless really, has no idea about contracting and hasnt even read the contracts. Why should he hes hitting those sales targets.

    So contractor mentions sub clause and he hasnt got a clue. If he admits hes got no idea:-

    1. He no longer looks like the man who runs the show.
    2. Why waste another chance to underline the fact that hes got the power and your just a contractor.

    So he makes it up. Says nah I know the client won't go for that. Make sense?

    Hes hardly going to say I dont know I'll find out is he?
