Not sure why this is such a big deal.
If I cannot ‘give notice of termination’ but for whatever reason need to stop working it’s simple. There is no mutuality of obligation for me to work so I don’t. Sure as tulip termination of the contract will follow very shortly.
Not professional, but not a breach of contract either.See You Next TuesdayComment

Surely the ability has to be demonstrated but at the end of the day, People buy People.

Originally posted by Lance View PostIf it’s in my contract then yes. That’s why I have a contract.
"X.X no party wishes to create or imply any mutuality of obligation between themselves either in the course of, or between any performance of, the Services or during any notice period; accordingly, neither <REDACTED> nor the Client is obliged to offer any work to the Consulting Company or the Consultant, nor is the Consulting Company or the Consultant obliged to provide services to <REDACTED> or the Client beyond the termination or expiry of this Agreement;"
So if you had no right of termination, you would send an email to the agent something like:
"Dear Agent,
Under the 'mutuality of obligation' clause X.X, MyCo will be not be providing any further Services as detailed in our contract (signed <DATE1>) to <REDACTED> or Client as of tomorrow <DATE2>.
Blah blah.
Yours sincerely,
man at MyCo"
Quite aside from the obvious stunned silence from all parties concerned and probable fun and games to get any monies owed, you would not be worried about any possible comeback from this? Serious question.Comment
