Its not "really" there for the other party to reduce notice just because the other one does but hey ho, we could all get a clause added saying the other party can't give notice after the initial one has, couldn't we? So you cant complain.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Contractor leaves client in lurch, so the client replans and doesn't need the contractor any more. Easy to see where the no work part comes from.
Let's get that to one side; this is about client refusing to sign timesheet because they believe that you delivered nothing for the final three days (or more likely are doing it to spite you). If you've opted out, then you'll have to go down the chasing of commercial debt route. Email the agency, advising that, despite being opted out, you'll be pursuing money owed in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act, so they should help you convince the client to sign the timesheet off.
The problem you'll face is that you'll have p***ed the agent off by cutting your contract short. They'll be short on forecast revenue and it's your fault in their eyes.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Just because you are not a proper contractor does not give you the right to tar the rest of us with a brush of your own making.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Clients get contractors in to deliver, not to pick and choose and jump ship when it suits. Plays right into the hands of consultancies.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment
