Forget legal, how about moral?

Aviation is full of a lot of things.

Although ‘go-no go’ and ‘continue-turn back’ decisions are never made lightly in a commercial situation, sometimes they have to be made in the interest of safety and/or legality.
An aircraft with minimum IFR equipment can be perfectly safe most of the time, but if your area is littered with embedded CB’s and heavy rain, it is the PIC’s decision as to whether the flight can be conducted safely. No one is going to tell you not to go, this is why you are called a commercial pilot, and it is exactly what you were employed for. An operator should be able to roster you for a flight and expect that it will be carried out safely and efficiently without having to watch over your shoulder. Any wally can just blast off into sky - this has been demonstrated many times. If you intentionally fly into unsafe weather, then you are not doing your job. There are descent operators out there that support this.
