Why was he banned anyway?

Surely your not banning people for talking bollox? Seems unfair.

I am now in the process of writing a letter of complaint to the agent telling them that in view of their negligence I expect them to make an offer of compensation. On 8th November they failed to realise they were in possession of the required form of contract of engagement and this only came to light on 5th December as a result of my visit to the client in Hong Kong.

A few years ago a solicitor told me that when disputes like this arise its best to write a formal letter to the defendant offering them the chance to discuss compensation terms first. Apparently the courts do not look favourably on cases where the plaintiff has rushed to get to court before attempting to settle matters amicably outside.

I will be giving the defendant a limited period to consider their response. If they fail to respond to my satisfaction the next step will be to initiate proceedings against them.

Can I introduce you to KittyCat?

Maybe if the OP wanted to get this role in order to tap into the Asian markets in the long-run?

During the seven week delay I turned down numerous interviews with other prospective clients and turned down one confirmed job offer (from an interview in the last week of August)

Why would you do that?

I began to wonder if the whole thing had been a cruel hoax.

I am wondering that too.

Nah, I'm not buying it. He turned down guaranteed work and forked out for an international flight on the off chance he could see the client? What blue chip company lets people wander in off the street demanding to see people? Definately a wind up.

Sorry, I was offering a glimour of misguided hope.
