So are you saying the wholly correct situation is that once an agency introduces you to a client your "implied contract and duty of care" forbids you from ever talking to that client again about anything without involving that agency?Comment

It’s normally the case that if you've interviewed through an agency the client cannot contact the contractor. It’s the client the agency can take action against rather than the contractor. Restriction of trade 'n' all means that contractors can essentially contact whom they want to.Comment

Agencies and clients
I have to agree with the consensus here.
Agencies demand no loyalty whatsoever. Especially when they submit you for the interview stage, they have not even got you a job yet. And 90% of the work is done by you anyway.
In my opinion, if the agency aren't swift enough to chase up the contract and let you know, they don't deserve any respect.Comment

Mostly the client will have made up their mind before you even leave the interview. Some fawning follow up letter won't make a bit of difference. You can try too hard in these situations.
Plus if it is genuinely a BonS role giving it all the "Thankyou for giving my company the chance to pitch for the work" is going to make you look a bit of a to5ser.Guy Fawkes - "The last man to enter Parliament with honourable intentions."Comment
