It's situations like this that cause us to ellaborate on and recognize holes in our terms and conditions lol

I work without a contract. Normally, I am better than this at judging people and knowing what work to avoid and it has nearly always served me well. I’ve only had to fire one other client, but even that ended amicably.
In my decade as a consultant, I’ve never had to take legal action against any client, nor have I ever had anyone threaten me with litigation and defamation. Until today.
