Contract terminated before start date - anything I can do legally?

[Fred Bloggs]

Oh the initial posts of a Gricer sockie - I will update my ignore list

Pretty much.

Nonsense. The client is perfectly entitled for the contractor to turn up each day and to be sent home because there's no work available. There is no breach because there is no work. Really, this stuff has been done to death for years and years.

It depends on whether there actually is no work to be done. If you have evidence, for example that there is work to be done but that the client is pretending otherwise as a pretext for not paying you, then you may well have a case. It is important to ask for evidence or ask the agency for an explanation of why the work situation has changed. If, for example, you know a fellow contractor still in the workplace and they tell you that there has been no diminution in the amount of work available, then you may have a valid claim.

So did you just come here to ask a question you didn't want an answer to?

Best of luck in your pursuit

I did not come here to ask you any questions. I am educating you.

Unfazed yes. Studying law yes, on and off for many years especially related to my contracts. I have either settled or won all my claims so far both small claims and a multitrack claim for > £30K (though i settled for a good deal less). So who to listen to? The guy at the coal face or the talker?
