Given the number of contractors affected by this issue, you should be able to count on a minimum of 1000 in the group.
You need to get on with this soon. QC needs to be chosen, arguments picked, etc. This takes time. If you wait too long then the window of opportunity will be gone before you know it.Comment

Originally posted by JohntheBike View PostI really don't think there is the will out there to go this far now. When IR35 was first challenged by a JR, the necessary funds were gathered in a very short time. But being cynical, the legal people should have been able to advise that there was no prospect of the JR being successful, which turned out to be the case.
One of the problems is that contractors by nature don't tend to come together as a group - it's one of the attractions of contracting.Comment
