Disciplinary but leaving anyway!

Hi, I would like a bit of advice. As a normally self employed person I had to take one contract as employed as they didn't have the means with which to pay a self employed contractor. y payments werer results based rather than per hour/ week etc. The work was in two parts and though mildly related were 2 entirely different parts.
I completed all work for them 31-03-11, and should get my final pay next week for Part A of the Contract.
Part B of the contract was badly run and eventually I decided to cut my losses and not complete it which teh company wr happy with as it meant that they too could let it go. I have NOT claimed any of the results driven payments for part B, and that has left me out of ocket, but I was happier to do this than to get any more stress. Once my final pay for Part A arrives next week I fully expect ed my P45 as I have no wish to ever work for this Company again!!
However, they are apparently instigating a disciplinary to me over Part B, saying that there are some innaccuracies. So my questions are this-

- I am not being paid for Part B so can they instigate a disciplinary?


- Being as the culmination of a disciplinary is dismissal, and I don't want to work for this awful place any more, would I be best to just resign anyway? I really don't want the stress/ hassle/ upset and time off my current contract dealing with this.

- If I resign now, is there anything that they can do afterwards??

Thanks all!

It's impossible to say - we have no idea what they allege has happened or what they may be able to do about it.

when does the contract officially end?! did you hand in notice?

It depends on what the inaccuracies are. If they are e.g. anything fraudulent or something that involved an offence, then yes, they would do something even of you no longer worked for them.

It really depends on the circumstances.

Nothing fraudulent just errors made, (allegedly!)

But that doesn't mean that they can do nothing! You say you are self-employed, and word of mouth can pretty quickly wreck your chances of employment with others if you get a rep for "screwing up and then running away". I am not saying you have done - but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and if you simply walk away then you are going to be seen as admitting it, to some people at least. So can they do damage - quite possibly.
