noobs all around, lots of money at stake and probably not a single actual lawyer involved in any of this
should be pretty embarrassing for everyone tbh
Yeah that is pretty key, how the affiliate payment structure to Joey Ingram and how it impacted on JNandez' pay was described in the contract. Presumably it was in the contract and clearly stated, otherwise it would be a very simple task indeed to sue Upswing for breach of contract.
Also important is whether certain verbal "promises" or statements of intent were made on both sides or on either side and how the law would view these in terms of them forming part of a binding contract. I think it is a grey area in law.
I am 100%
not suggesting that either party or both parties were drunk during such discussions and I have no knowledge of how formal or informal the discussions or promises were or even if they actually took place, but here is a recent high profile UK case where the court found against the complainant.
