Originally posted by expatBut he does take the money when it goes well, so he's due a share of the sheeit when it doesn't. And he is the principal in the contractor's contract, so he can either get out of the way or decide which side he's on.
But it isn't, he (not unreasonably) seems to want some written proof that he wasn't at fault and for the client to go away with a slapped wrist to remind him not to do it again.
But he's unlikely to achieve either of these. Chances are that once you sue an agency on the basis of your contract with them, the client is going to have no further involvement in the proceeding. The agency will take it on the chin, offer you the money accompanied by some patronising letter effectively saying "we still think you are guilty but we are paying up anyway".
Of course, whether they do this one receipt of the first solicitors letter or on the steps of the court is another matter.

Not quite. There is an argument that MF could directly sue the client for defamation of character or somesuch.Comment

only the rich sue for defamation or libel - it's very expensive and usualy not worth the hassle, with very little awards made, unless you are famous of course
don't confuse the law in its theory with what's achievable in the courts in practiceChico, what time is it?Comment

I'm sure the law could be completely reformed to allow speedy processing of minor issues at modest cost. The whole thing is completely self serving.
There was an interesting programme on R4 not long ago about a con serving time for murder who decided to fight in the courts for his rights e.g. not being held in solitary for a week etc. He studied the legal business from prison books, and then went to court ... and won ... not just once ... but many times. I think he became a bit of a hero in his nick. He even gave up hitting people such as prison guards.

Answers on a CUK board please.
Spend 10 minutes figuring out how awkward you can be then ignore it all and concentrate on getting new business - not much else matters, tomorrow needs your attention yesterday and today have already happened ;-)Comment
