What steps have to be taken for a company to fire a independent contractor that it has a contract with?
I'm asking this on behalf of my employer. He was contracted by a prime company to do work for another company but half-way through the project, the project manager held up pay and told him that other work had to be done before the main work could continue. As he was fixing all the problems that were going on with the project more pay was held up, then finally, when my employer asked the project manager if one of the sub-contractors that were working under my employer was now working for the prime company he was fired and then told yes. Does he have any recourse to fix this issue, and can the tort law be used? This is a long story-short, there are more details that he would be able to fill in if we can get a lawyer to give him a place to start.
