Is that not bass-ackwards? What looks most like disguised employment falling
under IR35 to you:

a) Somebody working in their own office, using their own equipment, and working
   whenever the hell they like so long as the job gets done; or

b) Somebody going to a company's premises, using the company's equipment, and
   doing so every day, nine-to-five?
