I have offered a seamless handover at no cost to them but they still refuse.
If they continue to refuse the substitute, then leave and when they try to claim you breached it, you point out that they have materially breached the contract by refusing the substitute.
Make sure you document the offer of a substitute and their unreasonable refusal of the substitute in writing, so they will lose any legal action, and then leave with your head held high.Comment

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostBefore you walk out check the dispute resolution clauses in your contract. Some say that you have to give time e.g. 7 days so both parties can sort out the dispute. This means it's very important that you follow up anything you say verbally with a short email to the client repeating what you see as each parties position is making sure you mention the dispute clause.Comment
