Well, it's a different law, but IR35 often hinges on whether you're part of the chain of command in the business, and whether you could substitute another qualified person without the agreement of the client.

HMRC provide this tool to determine employment status:

As a note on the tool, it is woefully biased towards you being classed as inside IR35.

It classifies the contractors who wrote the tool itself inside IR35 while HRMC (the people contracting them to write the tool) do not.
