Hi all,
I started a 12 months contract in July. The contract notice period is 2 weeks. I was served 3 weeks notice on 22nd of November in writing. Luckily I have managed to find a better contract to start next week - better rate, closer to home etc. Signed the contract this morning.
The agent on my current contract has called me to give the 'good' news - the client has withdrawn the notice. When I told him that I have got another contract and cannot continue, they threaten me to sue for loss of revenue, quoting I am in breach of the agreed contract.
Is the agent's argument reasonable, or more precisely, legal ? How should I approach this one?
I use my own limited , but contract is inside Ir35 - no substitution clause.
Thanks in advance for guidance.
