    Assurance that there is insurance?

        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.

          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.

          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.

                Claim the amount that is equivalent to your notice period in the contract.

                It's a penalty for the other party cancelling the contract with no notice.
