5 weeks ago, after a 3-stage interview/presentation process, Dp was offered a directorship with a small company. The written offer was accepted, also in writing, T&C's agreed and a start date was set (due to be today, 8th).
2 weeks ago the start date was moved back a week to the 15th.
10 days ago Dp received an email outlining what the priority tasks for the first 3 months would be.
This morning the recruitment agency (through which the job was arranged) phoned to state that the job offer had been retracted, apparently due a downturn in business over the last 3 months .
Recruitment agency not happy, Dp and I apoplectic and extremely deflated, but we would like to know where Dp stands regarding compensation due to the last minute breach of contract.
Can anyone help with advice?
