But just pointing out that, email is PROBABLY good enough to go for an extension on. IMHO getting some clients to do all the paper work is just impossible.
I ALWAYS insist on minimum email or I go home. Takes 30 secs for client manager to do this so do it.
Did have one client who tried to say his word was good enough and why did I insist on an email and he wasnt happy I didn't trust him? At the time I thought, hang on, why exactly are you being funny about this email when its easy to do.
He did email a few days later and it was all ok but Im sure at the back of his mind there was a small chance it might fall through so he wasnt willing to put it in writing. Bit naughty really.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

yeah my contract was checked and is does say i need prof indem insurance for 1 million (which I have). although they have never asked for proof of this.
Might have to chase this new contract in writing as they are already bad at paying on timeComment

If it's a couple of days late then fine, but if we're talking a week or more and it's regularly, I'd consider finding another contract with a client who treats you with some respect.Comment

The case was decided in 1877 and hasn't been overturned yet - the contract is accepted on the same terms as before, so if there was a previous termination clause then that applies for the extension as well.Comment
