Originally posted by Ranger2017 View PostI guess there is a always a first! But, in the notice of termination email the manager has made a few unsubstantiated claims of my skills, professional attitude and deliverable. I am trying to protect myself when the end client sues these clowns, they don't come after me on the basis my services were terminated on the above ground.
The fact is their reasons to termination me are false, i was happy to go anyways. I just want a way of enforcing them to 'be honest' rather than make false accqusations.
However, I think the onus is on you to prove the libel \ slander so you would have to prove his comments about your attitude and skills etc are incorrect.
You could respond to both him and his company that you are taking legal advice whether his comments in the email are libellous \ slander and invite him and his company to withdraw them but you could be opening a bigger can of worms.
As Ive said, it happens in the contract world. You either accept it and move on or take a stand. Most of us put it down to experience and move on.Comment
