Advice needed in dismissal

If he can get notice pay then that sure matters more than a bean.

Regardless though - your contract is a legal document. Your client cannot simply terminate it on the spur of the moment for no reason. They can issue you notice and say there's no work, or they can march you out if YOU have broken the contract.

If they do things in the wrong way they could be legally liable, just as you could be if you simply didn't come in rather than exercising your MOO clause.

"We've run out of budget, sorry."
"We've reviewed our strategic direction and your project no longer fits within that scope, effective immediately. Sorry."

If OP gets notice pay I'll give you the same amount.

As I said this scenario has happened to me a couple of times.

On one they gave and let me work the notice.
On the other told at lunch time, told to be offsite by the end of the working day.

Given that the director (presumably the MD?) told him to "**** off" I don't see him caving.

Must admit the director seems quite sure

I'd want it in writing.

What, something like:-

Dear OP

#### off and get another contract.

Love and Kisses,

A Director.

Sounds a lot like the response given in Arkell vs Pressdram

Oh my, you are still going on? And noone moved this thread yet?

Highjacking other peoples threads is not so nice.

You advised them you are terminating the contract, they decided to wave the notice period you are required to give them, whats more complicated than that?
