Cas law surrounding substitution
Is there any case law surrounding substitution where a contractual right of substitution, however fettered, was not accepted by any court, and declared a sham?Comment

So, can you point me to an IT related case, where IR35 was involved?Comment

that would appear to support my contention that the contractual right of substitution was accepted. I'd like to see an IR35 case where the contractual right of substitution wasn't accepted and judged as a sham.Last edited by JohntheBike; 17 February 2020, 11:07.Comment

Not sure if you've seen this but I am sure you'll find this interesting.. and bore us to death about it.. but.

Originally posted by JohntheBike View Postthat's HMRC's (and their moles) take on it. But OK, point me to any case where the judge ruled the substitution clause as a sham and threw it out and then judged the individual as an employee.
And there will never be one. A case will not hinge on one point alone. It's too complex and a multitude of factors will need to be consider to make a judgement. I would have though if there was anyone on gods earth that would know this it would be you.
And another point, it's also even more unlikely to happen as substitution is less important as the other pillars, judges have commented on it and even Kate Cottrell has admitted it as so.
Anything to add to this thread that's useful now JtB or are you done?'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment
