IR35 was aimed at stopping the opposite from happening - badly aimed and missed, but nevertheless, aimed!

IR35 was designed to (among other things like destroying entrepreneurialism and enterprise) initiate a migration of independent business people back into the clutches of easy tax-fleecedom and control.

I'm not for a moment suggesting that this is the reason you are now perm, but Hector will almost certainly think he has won that battle in your case, and leave you alone - a sort of blessing.

IR35 is on a contract by contract basis, so it should have no effect on the status of the previous contracts. they will be judged on their own merits.

Not that it's happening to myself, but it could potentially be happening to a colleague I work with.
