• A market whose closest member to the UK is thousands of miles away, not literally on our doorstep (OK-ish for remotely provided services, although the timezone difference will be a hurdle, not so great for goods)
• A market where decisions are made in secret courts with no public scrutiny, an issue

One man bands and companies in the trades use the word "job" almost exclusively, it means nothing more than some work for a person or company....

For any legal action to succeed, Agency B would need to show that your actions have caused them a loss; in other words, they'd need to show that they could have been the intermediary in your work with Company C but, due to your actions, they weren't offered that option.

Since Company C...

ISTR my IFA brother in law mentioning that HMRC can get a bit funny if someone receives large pension payments without a concomitant level of salary.

But that was a long time ago and my memory's shot, so I'm probably remembering it all wrong. Also, you may well have paid the SIPP beneficiary...

Ah, OK - I'll tell my friends who work in Pharma Sales to the NHS, among others, that they're mistaken - thanks for the Daily Wail fact check!...

[Snooky]

This is just nonsense, certainly about the medicines. The NHS has huge bargaining power when it comes to pharmaceuticals and manufacturers agree reduced prices for guaranteed volumes....

I have no problem with people who experienced genuine loss or distress being awarded appropriate compensation, but you already said you were very happy with the car and were under no illusion about the reality of emission claims, and you're just interested in the free money. In my book that's not particularly...

You may just be trolling, I don't know, but I really hate this attitude. This is how a country goes from being normal, like the UK used to be, to a litigous weirdo society like the USA, where companies and organisations refuse to do things because they're scared of being sued or because they just can't...

If I had a paid weekend/evening sideline helping people with their computer problems, separate to my full time job as an IT expert (say), would that extra work be subject to IR35 because I'm also employed to do something similar by a completely different entity? What happened to considering each engagement...

I love Wheeler Dealers - but only ones with Edd China. Used to be my post-pub viewing on a Wed night, but I think they've moved it now ...

Do you have "a valid express written confirmation from the Client/Customer of their agreement to a specific notice period to terminate your Assignment before it is due to end" that's been forwarded to Giant?

If so, does the contract say anything about how far in advance of the...

I try never to call HMRC but, if I do, I always record the call and let them know I'm recording it (I just tell them it's because I have a terrible memory, which is true). You can get a free app for Android called ACR call recorder, I'm sure there's something similar for iPhone. Firstly so that I remember...

I don't know how they run polling in Tower Hamlets but where I am they always tick the name off their list when they give you your voting slip, so at least the situation you describe of two people voting in person under the same name twice should never happen...
