Answer: In a high-risk industry
or so that's what brollies and indemnity providers think.
That's why brollies refuse to take on contractors in this industry.Comment

Surely there needs to be a contractor group mounting a legal challenge to this? IR35 cases have gone to court and HMRC have consistently lost over the years. What has changed from a legal perspective between then and now? Nothing as far as I am aware. If we were outside then, we are outside now. Why are we leaving it to the doctors (another post on this thread) to mount this challenge, what is the plan of IT contractors beyond a pub conversation on threads like this?Comment

There is probably a judicial review being requested by locum doctors. That isn’t actually aimed at HMRC but rather at the nhs where nhs improvement stated everyone must be inside, then publicly changed that statement but seemingly kept the private advice the same. So they are attacking that not the principle itself.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Originally posted by mudskipper View PostContractor groups have repeatedly asked for people who believe they have a strong case to challenge the PS body's decision to come forward. People don't want to stick their head above the parapet. If anyone knows an IPSE member who believes they have such a case, and is prepared to fight it then they should contact [email protected].'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostTough call that one though. I spoke to IPSE about my last PS gig which a blanket job.

IPSE didn't do anything wrong, it's just a very big ask to go that far that they can help. Fighting a case against an ex client while you're benched didn't seem that attractive.
As I stated earlier there is a reason why fighting these changes is far harder than previous ones...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
