And does the contract allow for substitution?

Perhaps Shorty should do a use-case model, or a cost/benefit analysis, to ensure that he does not haemorrhage or indeed leak any of his assets.

Shorty tells me that his contract stipulates that he must produce a quality deliverable within a set period of time (but not too early) to the satisfaction of the user acceptance test team, otherwise he may come under IR35.

You need to take the problem in hand and work vigerously to ensure the desired result is achieved. Only by skillfull manipulation of the assets available to you will you produce the desired output and ensure a satisfying end to the project.

Also make sure that they don't walk away and leave you to your own devices just after giving you that raise....

What advice would you give dear readers?
