he may or may not be able to proceed with a writ of summons. Writ of summons is just the start, whether the case has any legal grounds in the eyes of the law and whether the company can win is another qn.

I was applying for a company previously. I went for 2nd round interview. the boss mentioned that if i were to get the job, i must sign a bond to stay with the company for 2 yrs. The moment i heard this, i knew the company got issues. I told the boss nicely in a professional way that if the company and job is exciting enough, i don't see why would people want to leave, in fact they would want to stay as they can grow in this company.

In the end i knew the company had issues and didn't proceed further with the interview in an enthusiastic way. Later i heard the boss himself left/got fired also.

why is it "shady" and "unfair"? don't forget that floralpeace in your own moment of greed or eagerness signed on the dotted line. no one forced you to but you did even after reviewing the contract terms.

these are 2 very separate issues... one being your employment contract and the other being an ethical issue. end of the day i still think u should talk to your boss, whether this is grounds for you to break the bond amicably.

judging from ur posts, it seems like u're unwilling to take responsibilities for your own foolishness and action. it is you yourself who signed a contract without reading the terms. and now, you're framing your company of being "unethical" and involved with "illegal" matters. grow up please, this attitude and mentality of yours will not get you far in life. all the best.

Thanks for the input.

In the case of said contract, there does not seem to be any losses for the company based on what little information we have here. However, does it really negate the contracts validity and hence render it unenforceable? Or is this considered a case of unconscionability?

We can all gain something from understanding contract law better...

Negotiated and removed the bond frm my contract w my employer.
So is verbally commit for that period without compensation clause.
Unethical issue persists, I will see hw it goes.

Thanks all for advice.

Regarding that. Company can sue but they could nt claim bk the said amount unless they could prove regarding amount. Usually they could oni claim bk few hundred on losses. So no point for civil suit.
