You cant do anything, you signed a contract.  It is legal and binding.  Youre in an adult world so do yourself a favor and grow the f up.

If this had been a contract with the company, then you could have sued for breach of contract and they would no doubt have been glad to settle out of court.  The problem is, you were subcontracted and your agency was the employer. Just put it down to experience.  It won't show up on your cv and you wouldn't want to work for such horrible people anyway.

Seems a bit of a daft situation and one theat needs to be looked at.\n\nBusinesses can refuse legal tender just as they can refuse to sell you anything at all. There is no obligation on a business to sell goods or provide a service (other than certain statutory ones).

Technically you would be in breach of contract however as nothing in writing there is very little employer could do. Employer would have to prove they had suffered financial loss and wouldn't really be worth the effort to contest

The successor company may be liable under the continuity of enterprise doctrine and/or the defacto merger doctrine.  Additionally, the principals of the two companies may be personally liable if you are able to "pierce the corporate veil" (very difficult but not impossible).  Depending on the amount of money at issue, you may wish to file a lawsuit yourself in small claims court.  But beware, if you sold the products/services through a corporation, you cannot represent the corporation in court in most states - you will have to hire an attorney.  If a significant amount of money is involved (and probably in any case), you should consult with an attorney.  It would help if you had a written contract providing that the prevailing party in any dispute arising out of the contract is entitled to attorneys fees.  Commercial disputes are difficult, and you would be wise to invest a little time/money with an attorney to see whether this claim is worth pursuing.  Best of luck.

Well, if you sign a contract stating that you  give up your right to sue in the normal jurisidiction, then normally you can't sue in any other place. But, in at least one state, I forget which, that doesn't stand, and you can sue 'where the thing happened, where the thing was sold... (as my coll prof used to say).

You could get into quite a bit of trouble. Not only lose your job, but in some cases face legal problems as well. It's called a conflict of interest. If your company pays you to do a job, and you accept the pay, then you should help your company become as successful as possible. If you know of a new market, you should help them tap into the market. You were employed by them to be a part of the team, so play for the team. If you think you could do better on your own, then quit and go into business.

They can/will reposes the car, then sue you for the cost of the car and the reposession. But they cannot insure that the county aty will go after you, they can only make a reccomendation of action. But more likely they will go after you. If you dont' cooperate they will kick your butt finacially-Just cooperate and give them the car. It will be cheaper in the end and they may even give you a chance to get out of the contract.

no win no fee is accidents...\n\nyou can get free legal aid... see your solictor that specializes in employement law.. or cab.\n\ndid you sign a contract?

Can I work for you?  I hope so, because I can't wait to sue you into the ground.  Without a contract, you open the door to everything and anything someone can dream up.  You're taking an obscene risk not using an employment contract.  Without a contract, it's totally he said-she said, and you have no defense if some claim arises against you.  Contracts aren't "fussy", they simply state the expectations of each party.  They are meant to ensure everyone understands what is required of them.\n\nAnd if someone won't sign a contract with you (assuming it's a reasonable contract), then you don't want them working for you anyway.

Generally, they are fill in the blank forms, but, honestly, if you are having a hard time with that... please rethink representing yourself.  I'm not saying that to be mean in any way, but if you don't follow the court rules specifically, your suit will be thrown out.  If your suit is considered frivolous by the court, you could also end up paying the other side's legal fees.

i would raise a contract....in my place of employment we won the national lottery a few years ago, there were 15 members and we would have got £330,000 each thats if the bastard responsible hadnt been pocketing the money himself and not putting the numbers on each week, we couldnt sue because we had no contract with him! it works both ways.

How are you going to sue your boss for being a b-i-t-c-h? Is there some kind of law that says your boss has to be pleasant? I mean I worked for a b-i-t-c-h who tried to get me fired and made my life such a living hell that I still have nightmares. When I went to a lawyer and paid him $450 an hour he told me he couldn't do anything and suggested that I take a photo of my niece in with me for our next meeting so I could stay calm. It worked but it was kind of expensive advice. Nonetheless, I'd love to hear that you called her a b-i-t-c-h and flipped her off! Do it for the both of us!

Verbal contracts are still contracts in the eyes of the law, but they're tougher to prove, particularly if you already have a written contract that contradicts it.  Taking this to court would hurt you both, so you both have a strong incentive to settle.\n\nMy advice is to see if your city government provides some kind of mediation services.  They can help you to work this out without requiring legal representation for either side.  Before you go into the negotiation, try and separate your feelings from your interests, and try to understand where he's coming from, and you'll stand a much better chance of working this out in a way that's equitable to you both.  Make sure that you consider your "BATNA" and his (BATNA=Best Alternative to Negotiated Agreement - i.e. what will each of you do if you can't come to an agreement) and be willing to settle once you reach a point in the negotiation where you've exceeded your BATNA.  Good luck.

You can't be serious, you want to sue someone for trying to help you communicate with the world?  I know it can be frustrating, but sheesh, nobody is perfect.  So, they misunderstood...that is okay, just clarify.  And, I don't think it is such a bad thing that they try to treat you nicely...hell, I wish people went out of their way to treat me w/ kid gloves.  If you have a problem w/ a particular person's attitude, just let them know...like anyone would.  They are just trying to be helpful.  What's is so bad about somebody feeling good about helping you and other people with disablities....geez, is that such a bad thing?  How would you prefer them to feel and how would you prefer to be treated?  With a cold shoulder?  I don't know if you have a case, but with the way the world works, you probably would--thanks for driving up my tuition/medical bills, etc b/c of your frivolous lawsuit.
