Dukesy 0 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Q) CAN A NEW MANAGER OF A PUB OR CLUB BE FORCED TO HONOUR A PREVIOUSLY SIGNED CONTRACT? A) The contract is between the DJ and the person who signed it. If that person dies, moves on or is sacked then the contract is considered 'null' because the person is deemed no longer to be employed in the capacity of a signee. In other words, if they are no longer employed as a manager of the venue, then they cannot sign or be held accountable for any liabilities in that position. Its very doubtful whether they can be held accountable personally for any consequential loss, if they was employed by a company. The only exemption would be, if they were signing on behalf of a company and a representative of the company co-signed it (ie area manager) or the new landlord was employed on the basis of retaining all of the existing staff and contractors - which would be highly unlikely. New managers can change all of the staff, change the DJ, Caterers and Cleaning Lady and even change the clientele and there is not a thing anybody can be done about it, in fact that is often WHY new managers are brought in - to make changes. A mobile DJ is also a third party contractor rather than a PAYE member of staff, which gives them even fewer rights and no redundancy claim whatsoever when venues change hands. If you are unsure about your rights, we suggest that you contact your nearest Citizens Advice Bureau. (DJ ASSOCIATES) Source Disclaimer Link to post Share on other sites
