Once, I had a contract cancelled. The agency got a week's fees, and they asked me to invoice them for one week's fees.
But that was a long long time ago.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Gosh, you really don't have much luck - it was only in June that you were asking about whether the client / agency can pull the rug when you have accepted and turned down other work.Originally posted by Elliegirl View PostDoes anyone want to share any successful attempts at claiming compensation for breach of contract, for example, if a contract has been cancelled once you have signed on the dotted line and started a gig? Am in similar position and have been asked 'what I want'....!!
Anyway, work out what your losses have been. Work out what you think they will pay, and charge that.
And if you have IPSE+ then see if there is anything you can claim on their policy for business interruption for.Comment

It's a penalty for the other party cancelling the contract with no notice."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
