HELP!, agent threatening to take legal action over notice period.

[kaiser78]

As do I! Thank you very much for your help everyone. He is offering a margin of their losses over 2 weeks and he is also telling the client tomorrow what he has been earning to raise alarm bells as to what the agent may have been taking (who knows! they may even understand why he left ) and also letting the client know that the agent is taking legal action. All advice I got from this board. So thank you very much, hopefully this will end here and we will not have to involve a lawyer.

In all honesty, we never cared about the money, had it not been for the fact that the agent was threatening to sue for longer than the notice period. I'll quite happily pay them for their losses of 2 weeks but the full term of the contract? what would be the point in a notice period?

Thank you to the gentlemen to defended me (bench comment )

I probably won't need any more feedback. Thanks again!

The bottom line with this thread is for you both to see it as a learning opportunity, I agree that you need to put your own needs first given current climate but with caution (agencies hold no respect in my eyes, however client cos do), but if you don't think you will see out a contract don't agree to a 28 day notice period (either by signing the contract or commencing without signing).
