The dispute is that this not a valid reason to terminate the contract.
There is no apparent misconduct and apparently the skills are still required on the project.
Even then there is nothing stopping the contractor from using -isms to state that was why the contract was ended (there have been women on here who were terminated immediately as per contract who told the client they were pregnant), or arguing that they have been slandered.
If you look at your own contracts you will find clauses clearly linked or unlinked from each other. Plus there will be a disclaimer stating if a clause is found to be invalid the other clauses stand.
This clearly indicates clauses can be challenged in a court of law.
This is why:
1. Contractors are given short contracts/extensions, or,
2. Clients/agencies use a misconduct reason to get rid of contractors
I must be totally missing something here. The client gives notice, it doesn't matter what for and doesn't need a reason. He is just giving notice. End of... No dispute, no reasons needed, no legal situation.
