The
FAQs in this list are added to from time to time.
You
may also care to look at my past 'Freelance
Informer' articles on various legal problems related to aspects of
Contracting.
The
information in these FAQs was believed correct at the
time they were written (laws change – check the date at the end!), but you must
remember that they are not in-depth treatments, and that there will inevitably
be a fairly high degree of generalization. It often happens that a small fact,
of little apparent relevance to the non-lawyer, can alter the legal situation
completely - so be careful, and ask for specific advice about your own
situation if you need it.
If
there's any other subject you'd like to see covered, or if you'd like me to
mail and tell you when I've added one or more of these, just
mail me.
