In the UK, they can bring as many $400/hr lawyers into the small claims court as they like. They are NOT entitled to claim for the costs of representation.
The idea is, that you and the complainant go in as equals.
A company can appoint a lawyer, even a Barrister, but the sitting is very informal, and you will not end up paying for the barrister. Anyway, I went up against a Barrister and won.

This is true, playing Timesplitters on a 52" Tv, makes me feel Nauseous..
Which bit about the

Didn't you read or understand.
Black box in the car ? Are you mad. End of year, the black box is analysed and Speeding and parking tickets issued accordingly huh ? Or are you trying to tell us you never ever speed, or park anywhere for any length of time, that you are not supposed to ? Big brother is here, and he is going to use black box..
As a Contractor, I never know how long I am going to be sticking around, however I tend to have a heads down get on with the work attitude, rather than worrying about promotion and the like. I know of several contractors who have been with a company for years, in one case 27 years ! The whole point of being a contractor is choice. I have the choice to choose who I work for. I have the ability to do varied and rewarding work, primarily for me its the challenge that keeps me in contracting. I'd far rather have an interesting, challenging, rewarding job, than a boring well paid one. Employees normally change jobs every 2 years or so anyway. Its normally easier to keep a contractor around longer if you really want to.
Of course there are exceptions to this, you get bad contractors, and good employees too.
Look at the person, not whether they are a contractor or an employee, and treat them both well, otherwise you may find your employees off contracting... !
