....I am expected to start tomorrow. Would you? Does starting imply that you accept the terms and conditions of an unseen contract?

No contract but......
Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -
Not legally (if nothing is signed you cannot be bound by it). However you might not get paid (for the same reason).
Personally I wouldn't, unless I knew the agency very well and had at least an email stating that I would get paid, and confirming the rate.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain... -

I have started gigs without the paperwork (which has always come through eventually), and have had no problems, but others on here in the same situation have had issues.

I have done in the past Tony, but in your circumstances, I would use it as a delaying tactic until you know one way or the other about London (assuming that London is still live and likely).
I don't know whether or not you trust this agent, but it sounds like they are deliberately delaying the contract until after you have started because they have no intention of changing it, and they judge that you'll accept it in order to get paid for work already done.
You could always say that your accountant won't let you start!Comment
