I've been in the situation before where renewals have not come in quick enough and this has meant me working on-site for a few days here and there out-of-contract. Never had any problem being paid etc. but I do wonder what the situation would be if the contractor is working like this for an extended time, several months even.
So, having been in a contract (with formal contract) for a few months/years but then a renewal isn't formally signed and the client just carries on using your services and you keep billing. Is there an implied contract of services in that case?
For example -
Is there actually is any risk to the contractor, assuming that the work is getting done and that the Ltd Co is still being paid for any invoices raised?
Is there any greater (or reduced) IR35 risk?
Can the client come back later in time and try to claim back invoice payments?
