In the pub with a friend and she has been a model since age 18, now age 25. She signed a contract with an agency 7 years ago and they supply her occasional work but she does other stuff via other agencies. Never signs a contract for each 'job', she just gets a text then turns up.

She says she agreed to work on Sunday for an agreed day rate but, due to a wedding, let the agency know today that she couldn't do it. The agency woman has kicked off saying that she will sue and look to recover costs.

This seems a bit threatening towards this girl who has given nearly a weeks notice and she asked us all where she stood legally.

I would have thought she could tell the agency to Do one but thoughts welcome.

Lol no pics!!

Its with the agency she signed a contract with 7 years ago but its been sporadic work since so seems weird they hold her to the contract. She is being told if she doesn't turn up she will have to give the agency what she would have got as a day rate as 'compensation'.
Shouldn't she have to sign a contract for each individual assignment she gets?

The contract mentions nothing about paying the agency at all if she cancels. It states if she doesn't give 24 hours notice of failure to attend then they can cancel the agreement. She has given 6 days notice!
