Having moved house and reduced the number of cardboard boxes from horrendous to barely manageable, I'm trying to catch up again.
I see that the question of cross over between Tax Tribunal and Employment Tribunal has arisen - again.
I also recall having wasted a lot of time on this a few weeks ago. My memory says that:
I also recall that "wait until the ET sees this" or "take it to an ET" was the answer to just about every legitimate query raised.
Did we not agree that a case from long ago and which has little factual, legal or anecdotal relevance in a period which has seen more recent cases, policy and legislation, is not relevant today?
Finally we agreed that we would look forward and not back?
Given the number of issues presently vying for my attention, (but accepting that debate and exchanges here are not reliant upon my reading or contributing), if we descend again into a spiral we have all seen before, I'll be ignoring this thread.

- A FTT would ignore an ET decision and vice versa, even where the facts are the same.
- A decision in either Tribunal carries no precedent in the other.
- Government policy is that "employment" and "Deemed employment" will never be the same.
- Practically the time limits for bringing tax and employment cases are incompatible.
- No sensible contractor would dream of taking an active client to ET
