Agency Regulations and conflicting contract clauses

[JoJoGabor]

If you had stayed with the consultancy wouldn't the new one be obliged to pay you as they take on their business inc liabilities?

No they're not legally obliged to do anything, brand new company. I went direct to the end client, not via any consultancy

But it's not a brand new company. You said it was bought. That tends to include assets and liabilities no?

Depends on the nature of the sale. The new consultancy could have purchased just the assets and left the administrators with the liabilities.

@Safe Collections - is this something you could handle to claim for my last invoice or does the counter claim issue complicate things and is more suitable to be represetnted by a solicitor?

The short answer is yes we could handle it, the long answer is still yes, but it will depend on reviewing the background of the claim and the nature of the agreement etc etc...

Feel free to get in touch for a chat

Update: The agent coughed up in the end after I responded to each of their points in the claim that there was no legal standing.

I think they were bluffing and realised they had nowhere to go.
