Dear Senior Members,
I am in a very stuck situation and have been advised by a in-relation lawyer that if i send him notice or file recovery suite then he can in return file a compensation damages case against me. Since the 1st project dues are pending, I started working on 2nd project thinking that i will get the first cleared. He told me that i have signed a letter for the 2nd project and left in between. This could be the reason for the company to recover damages from me. But the reason of leaving in between was they haven't paid me my previous project balance payment and they are blaming me for everything as i have caused them loss by leaving the project in between.
The 2nd letter which i signed was basically a 1 page letter stating my services, position and renumeration. There were 2 points besides all these info which can be a problem and they are :
1. Your responsibility includes every aspect of editing and that you would ensure the quality as expected by the Director and the client.
2. You would not engage yourself with any other work during this time period and make yourself available for the entire duration of the project.
These were the only 2 terms mentioned in that letter which i signed.
But in my 1st letter, it was more of a appointment letter without terms and conditions mentioned. There was one point mentioned which states that "As discussed your fee will be structured as follows..xxx...This will be paid in full within 15 days of the completion of the project and via cheque."
Now please advice what action should i take? or just move on.
