This relates to the improper termination of security a services contract set to end on the 9th April 20011. I was informed by email on the 25th November 2010 that the contract would terminate on the 27th November 2010. I am of the view that the contract was unlawfully terminated.
Clause 2.1 of my agreement specified a minimum 2 week notice period. This was not adhered to and I have therefore suffered the loss of earnings of 2 weeks work. In addition invoices were paid late and there was a 1% per day penalty clause included in my contract. This penalty fee has not been made.
I was forced to instruct a lawyer to forward LBA to the client. They paid the outstanding invoices but did not pay either the 2 weeks notice period or the late payment penalty fees.
The remaining claim is less the £5k making it a small claims issue. I am looking for someone with a legal background to support my efforts in the recovery of the outstanding monies including if needed small claims court.
This is a matter for the UK small claims court ONLY. I have attached a small document with the 2 relevant clauses of the contract.
