You were cutting down a tree and being paid for it, your name was on the job and you were doing it with assistance (all be it you didn't want that assistance). You must legally insure anyone that helps you.

 

Do you genuinely think that a client who barges in and moves things without being asked to (or after being asked not to) has caused him to be in breach of mandatory employers' liability insurance law?!

Once he's in the hospital with a serious injury, the facts will mean little, it will all be down to what you can prove and what his "No win no fee" outfit can make stick.

 

"yes he said if I helped it would be cheaper, I had no idea it was so dangerous and assumed he was insured":sneaky2:

 

I would not want to risk it.

Would that occurred before or after the FBI arrives on scene :sneaky2:

I don't think the feds have any jurisdiction in Scotland, unless you are George Galloway, for whom they have a special love :laugh1::laugh1:

ELI may save you in the situation I described.

 

Should be covered by PLI (not a legal requirement), but if you had that and not ELI, they may try to get out of covering you, with both you should be sorted, IMO.

I assume you are registered with HMRC

 

 

Afternoon Kev, I noticed you didn't get an answer to that so I will say it again for you. What about it Macca are you dodging the tax as well as the insurance?

How would people feel about people doing a bit of minicab driving on the side??

 

Would you want your daughter/mother collected by an unlicensed cab??

 

Would they want an uninsured tree surgeon working at their elderly mothers home??

Threads go where they go, I can start a thread for it if you want, I feel a poll coming on.

 

If you don't answer the question people are going to make assumptions :laugh1:
