Yes, the fact that the branch landed in the carriagway where traffic was still continueing means it would be your fault. Even though she jumped the lights. If you want to land stuff in the open carriageway you need to physically stop the traffic both ways (not just two red lights). Hopefully she knows she was in the wrong though, but either way it can't ever be the climbers fault. team effort and all that. If he disobeyed your instrcutions then its yoru fault for hiring soemone that disobeyes instructions. There is no passing the buck.

I just typed a big reply and hit soemthing wrong and it went. Basically Yes, that is how I see it, although others disagree no one can really come up with a reason to have it.
-
Yes, no, yes, no....... EL does not cover subcontractors cos you are not employing them, you are hiring their company. PL should include the USE of bona fide sub contractors, BUT you would still want to make sure they have their own as they are out of your control (because they are on a seperate contract)
-
Good for you! Take it like the man you are! Excpept it was clearly the womans fault. It syour job to sort it out not the climbers, but does sound like you should just laugh at her, and do some pointing as well!!

I don't understand what you are saying. In your older company was it due to you being over the vat threshold for 2 years without registerign that made you have to pay the extra vat back? Never heard of anyone paying vat on income (I presume you mean turnover) prior to them registering, unless as I said above they were over the threshold and had not declared it.

I do think there is a problem though, whne an experienced climber works for an in experienced firm. Wherby the boss or person in charge of the firm doesn't have the skills to ssupervise the climber during difficult work situations. i.e. the climber is now runnign the show!! In this case avoid working for companies like that, your only making them look good if it all goes well. And if you can't avoid it, definatly don't take out insurance to help them out as well!!

No, freelancing is not sub contracting. Its 2 seperate things. I think on here the word "subbie" gets used for a freelancer but it really is not the same thing at all. Frank, if my Unlce lived near you I might sub contract any work at his house to you and you would need insurance. If I drove up there and you joined me for the day as a freelance helper (climber or otherwise) then you would not need insurance. If you dropped something on his house and broke it then its my mistake for gettign you in and not supervising, my insurance must cover that mistake that I made!!
-
Yes that pretty much it. Problem is that freelancers call themselves subbies or sub contractors and insurance companies will take their money if they are saying they are a sub contractor.
-
I would avoid working for companies that don't stand by their decision to hire in a freelancer. If the freelancer screws up then its the companies mistake. Its not your work, so it can't be your fault. No tree company can pass the buck to a person they have chosen to do their work. (not including sub contractors)

I claimed back on all equipment purchased on the last two years but didn't pay on everything I had earned in that time? I could only claim vat from expenses for a shorter period, 3 months I think. Where are you getting your info? Have things changed? Its only 3-4 years since I registered.
-
Q1. Insuring other peoples work is a waste of money.
-
When you first register for vat I don't think you can claim everything back for the last 2 years anyway. Not sure how it works exactly but I think you can only claim the vat back on stuff you still own, and for things like fuel and expenses there is a much shorter time that you can reclaim retrospectivly.

Hi, I'm all good thanks. Well done to you and Jon, great show for the Brits. I bet Donal had a blast too. Shame about Owen, yes that is sods law! Still he's a kiwi anyway! I'll give him a call in the week to rub it in a bit.
-
Good job Rhys! What happened to Owen? Did he drop something?
-
Thanks Mark. Looks like Owen had troubles in the work climb! Will have ot talk to him about that! And I had thought Stu was climbing but I was wrong. Donal, good job!

If you have had two years out of it then retire it IMO. But never chuck em, they are worth more in spare parts.
