Contractor's Rights When Contract Ends

I have contracted for a large oil company for the past 9 years.
Yesterday my manager told me that my job will no longer exist, and I will be leaving at the end of March.
However, I have reason to believe that they have employed someone in another office to take over the duties that I have.
Where would I stand legally with this?

sallyann16, if you're still reading this thread, disregard the link posted at 18:36. It's irrelevant to your situation.
Murdo my agency often did not have enough workers to fulfill all the posts it was asked to. More than once they phoned me to ask if I could go to a job when I was already at another job, I had to explain that I could not be in two places at once. Reed is one of, if not the, largest agency in the UK, it is highly unlikely they do not have another placement top offer sallyann.
Eddie naomi will be livid she has not got the last word in ;-)
rockyroad, what are you talking about?

that wouldnt be the one that begins
"I dont think you are covered by this..." by any chance would it ?

Am I right in thinking that Nigh's post was:
if you are reading this Sal - then dont !
and if you arent, Sal - then dont start !

normal day on AB then

The autoclenz and Mixed concrete cases ( since other people will be reading this later ) distinguish contractor contracts from employment contracts. Autoclenz for the first time said that written clauses ( specifically "I am not an employment contract" could be ignored). Since Sal is wondering as a contactor whether she has employment rights then it er IS relevant in a larger sphere

Concrete v MOPNI is what murdo says is a NI case
he says " you dont wanna go down that road !"
actually the autoclenz operatives applied to the Tribunal for recognition as employees ( hence the clarification on the law involved ) as they would get holiday pay - sick pay and minimum wage

I am certain that Reed is a reputable employer
so I disagree with Murdo in that if you KNOW your nics are in disarray or unpaid when they should have been paid -I would repair it and I wouldnt ignore it ( well this is a law thread ) - otherwise your pension gets damaged

it should be pretty clear by now that
you are a contractor and not an employee and therefore have very few rights with the oil company

[The matching job title doesnt work: there is a specific case on that but er I cant remember the name ]
