No, we're fighting via our lawyer, but if it does end up in court, we will likely lose as contract law is pretty strong in the UK - and apparently this is a significant part of this recruiter's business model, so they're well practised at it and have test cases in which they've been victorious.

sender domain please ? I need to update my block list on my mailservers to protect my customers (and myself).

There must be public links/references if this is their business model - care to share those ?

Also, what test cases ? Those are public record in the UK - they are no liablity issues in pointing to matters of public record/factual court records.

A contract doesn't mean anything unless you actually sign it. Which I understand you didn't.

If you are bound by contracts that you received without requesting or signing, its time to leave the UK.

If that "business model" is allowed to proceed, what is to stop the contract trolls from suing everything into oblivion?

[ensignavenger]

Why not send an email to them with a contract that nullifies the previous contract? I would love to hear a judge try to justify why one contract is enforceable for just receiving and email and another is not.

Have you signed an exclusive contract in ink? If not then coder is a shared resource. Though laws can be draconian and make you guilty even in event of actual innocence.

Just forward their emails to the UK government and wait to see if they will cough-up money too.

sounds like you need a better lawyer
