OK, heres the situation in short...
Had a contract with a local company... it says in there I can't work on customer sites for 12 months after contract termination...
I went and got a regular job at a pub down the road who paid this other company and then they paid me...
I made the night to what it is now, we have a brilliant relationship (staff and management)...
The contract I had with this company got terminated, and the pub are now not happy at all with the service the new guys are providing and want me back...
Where do I stand if they got rid of this company and got me in private?
I mean it's not like I'm going in and turning them against the other company, they have approached me...
Aslo, if they get me to court, what's the worst that can happen?

does your contract have any mention of the pub? or is it listed as one of its customers anywhere?

The only written recrords they have is the bank details and invoices they send to the pub... that's all.
And yes Brianna it is

So basically an agengy employed you but you now want to work direct despite it being a condition of your contract that you don't work direct for 12 months?
They could technically sue you for their losses which would presumably amount to their cut had you still been with the agency.

It's not really me wanting to do it...
Now I've gone they are using an agancy to supply DJs... I didn't work for an agancy before, it was a small company but we all happened to be DJs...
The pub are complaining to me becasue I was the first and only DJ they have ever had, and I built the night up, I know the croud and I know the punters........... now I've not been there the company are sending agency DJs in there and it's a different one each week... they want a regular DJ... so want me back cos I already know the place....
So if it isn't me it'll be someone else... common sence... I think any way...
it's the pub that want me back

The fact they want you doesn't remove your contractual obligations.
Depends on a few things, strength and legality of the original contract, which if it was written by DJs may not be worth much anyway. Secondly whether they actually have means to pursue costs which won't really amount to much anyway.
Then there is whether your original employer or indeed you wants to sour the relationship and whether you or anyone at the pub is prepared to approach the original employer with an offer to buy out of the contract.
Many factors.

hmmm... might just risk it... they have means to take people to court, they have done in the past... loads of times in fact...
but I'll just argue the fact that they were going to lose the contract any way and so can;t do me for earnings cos they;ve fucked that up themselves.

surely, if the pub cancels their contract with the company then you could happily work for them as they wouldn't have been out of money?
Would probably be the better way to go about. Have a talk with the pub landbord, might beable to sort something out
