Work was somewhat unhappy that I have not given them any notice although they were a touch mollified when I told them that I would take some phone calls to answer questions if needed.

Section 8
8.3 Neither [the agency] nor the Client is obliged to offer the Service Provider any work, and the Service Provider is not obliged to accept any work if offered. The Service Provider is not obliged to make its services available. For the avoidance of doubt all parties agree and intend that there shall be no mutuality of obligations whatsoever either in the course of this contract for services, or during any period where contract work is not available.
When they shut me out of the building last year they enacted the first sentence. Today I enacted the latter part of the first sentence and the second. It should be abundantly clear to them in the third sentence.
Contracting. Everyone wants you yesterday with as little notice as possible to your current client. Nobody wants you to leave until they have everything they didn't request and you have exceeded every expectation....
Whilst being locked out of the office and threatened with no pay for, the unspecified duration, did not drive my decision to move, it radically changes the way that I feel about it.
The contract has no specified notice period. So I am left with not accepting the offered work or making my services available.
I think I have a fairly solid case...
