Found a good article:
IR35:Substitution, control and mutuality of obligation :: Contractor UK
The above basically argues that if you can prove at least one of Substitution, Control or MoO then you are safe.
So being without a fixed duration doesn't seem to come into it. At least not to the same extent. Yes, it could create a case
for "part & parcel"... but does that trump any of the above? Substitution? Control? MoO? I'm assuming it doesn't.
Anyway, my plan is to query the open duration. If the reasons sound reasonable and considered I'll probably go for it. Otherwise will ask for 12 months and then seek to renew. I think the 24 month rule is only applicable for expenses btw.
