Is a contract legally binding before its start date?

[cosmic]

Given you have accepted a contract with a start date in the future (e.g. next week/next month), and you got another better opportunity, what options are there to cancel it? Is it legally binding if you notify them before the start date?

You are running a business. In this situation find a sub and get paid by both clients rinse and repeat.

Yes it is binding. You can always give notice on the contract.

They might accept you not turning up at all. However you will be burning bridges.

Sometimes the best way to light the path to your future is to burn the bridges of your past!

You can always propose your sub to come on site

Propose? What is this propose nonsense? You simply send the sub.

You do have a legitimate B2B contract that has an appropriate and viable RoS clause, don't you?

I hope he doesn't. Hopefully his Ltd company does.

Interesting to read Moral vs Legal views. By the way, my apparent 'better opportunity' fell through, leaving 'moi' couple of hundred pounds short, I am honouring the contract agreed after all.

Anyone has a qdos promo code?

No one is going to sue you but you won't be invited back.

Yes he will be. Both by the agent and the client.
