Client wanting to terminate earlier than notice period

[SueEllen]

Absolutely right! I am talking here about the standard ones we as one man PSC's get given and based on the pretty standard responses from the likes of QDOS. At our level a review is more like a tickbox than an indepth understanding of the contract (sorry QDOS and the like, no offense). But yes I am assuming a pretty standard vanilla contract.

That's why I use lawyers rather than the likes of QDOS for contract reviews.

As one of our disliked agents who posts on here has pointed out in the past the likes of QDOS allow clauses through that no lawyer would.

<snip> I don't see how they can be linked and what it matters. They work individually and so can work in parallel if need be. MOO covers from the first to the very last working day, if that is in notice period or normal contract periodn, it doesn't matter. Linking them is what makes it complicated, and because I don't think they are, I don't think it is complicated.

As I stated before it depends how the entire contract is worded.

If the agency or client are smart they ensure those clauses are linked.

This prevents the contractor who decides that the business relationship isn't one worth keeping going after the party they have the contract with to get the money.

On the other hand the client may decide the business relationship is one worth keeping or they like their reputation so may just pay anyway.
