Market Investigations in UK Law

Hall (Inspector of Taxes) v Lorimer
“
The most that can be said is that control will no doubt always have to be considered, although it can no longer be regarded as the sole determining factor; and the factors which be of importance are such matters as whether the man performing the services provides his own equipment, whether he hires his own helpers, what degree of financial risk he takes, what degree of responsibility for investment and management he has, and whether and how far he has an opportunity of profiting from sound management in the performance of his task."
The object of the exercise is to paint a picture from the accumulation of detail. The overall effect can only be appreciated by standing back from the detailed picture which has been painted, by viewing it from a distance and by making an informed, considered, qualitative appreciation of the whole. It is a matter of evaluation of the overall effect of the detail, which is not necessarily the same as the sum total of the individual details.

Battersby v Campbell (HM Inspector of Taxes)
“
A contract of service exists if these three conditions are fulfilled. (i) The servant agrees that, in consideration of a wage or other remuneration, he will provide his own work and skill in the performance of some service for his master. (ii) He agrees, expressly or impliedly, that in the performance of that service he will be subject to the other's control in a sufficient degree to make that other master.

R (Professional Contractors Group Ltd) v Commissioners of Inland Revenue
“
The whole of the IR 35 regime is restricted to a situation in which the worker, if directly contracted by and to the client That question has to be determined on the ordinary principles established by case law (see for instance two cases mentioned in the written evidence, Market Investigations v Minister of Social Security [1969] 2 QB 173 and Hall (Inspector of Taxes) v Lorimer [1994] 1 WLR 209).

British Telecommunications Plc v The Office of Communications
“
But in each case, the police or the regulators were acting solely in pursuit of their public duty and in the public interest in “carrying out regulatory functions”. The question was whether there were specific circumstances of the costs regime in the particular kind of appeal before the CAT that made inapplicable the principles enunciated by the Court of Appeal as to the correct starting point in an application for costs against a regulator acting reasonably and in good faith.

Dragonfly Consulting Ltd v R & C Commissioners
“
(28) On the embodied arrangements approach I come clearly to the same conclusion as regards the period up to 2 January 2002. For the period thereafter it seems to me that the arrangements were that Mr Bessell should do the work allocated to him within the framework of the project timetable, and be subject to the guidance of the team and its manager.

Usetech Ltd v Young (Inspector of Taxes)
“
It was not contracting, indirectly, with the taxpayer for the supply of a person competent in Pro-Engineer; it required Mr Hood. It would not have accepted a substitute, if Mr Hood had sent one, without interview and certainly not on the basis that Mr Hood or his substitute might attend as the taxpayer elected from day to day. In my view, the "right" of substitution was largely illusory.
