Bit late for retrospective box ticking.

But I wouldn't have an issue with the 'continue on the same terms' approach. You have a contract and each extension was for a defined period as stated in the emails (I hope the extension period was stated!) so that ought to be ok.

IANAL

flaky question of the day

I'm just making sure all my paperwork is filed away for a 4 year long contract I just finished. It started as a 3 monther with an 'Agency Contract for Services' and an accompanying 'Contract Confirmation Note'. All subsequent renewals have been via email saying 'are you happy to extend for 3 months, all T & Cs remain unchanged' to which I just replied 'YES'. 4 years ago I emailed a copy of the 'Agency Contract for Services' signed on behalf of my Ltd and I have that at hand now. But I never received back a copy with the Agency signature on it, and I also don't think I ever received back a 'Contract Confirmation Note' for the initial contract. I have a 'Contract Confirmation Note' for one of my renewals and it's probably not a great piece of paper as it names me rather than the Ltd, a rate and the dates of the renewal.

So my question is would you bother chasing that original signed copy ? I am thinking if I ever have to produce the paperwork for an investigation the fact I was working without a signed contract could be a good thing !?!?!?! The contract is I think pretty good in terms of IR35, I never had it reviewed but it looked OK with Substitution etc in there. The agency were/are slack so probably wouldn't be able to produce it anyway and a good chance it was never signed.
