My last contract had a 12month clause in the company/agency agreement.

Thanks Amy, The owner thought it was 6 months and the fact they instantly threatened legal action and have a figure of 20k which is frankly laughable (I work a 3 day week it's on excess of my annual salary for this reason) makes me think their chancing their arm.
I would rather leave and contract for a bit than pay them a penny personally and have no objection to my ending up with a negative relationship as I won't be using them again plenty of nice agencies out there.

The owner should be reading the contracts before signing them and thus know both the duration he's signed up for and the fees if they want to take a temp perm within that period.

B2B contacts have much less regulation than B2C as people who run businesses are supposed to be big/ugly enough (and intelligent enough) to stand up for themselves and know that you negotiate first then sign not the other way round.

You won't have to pay anything, it's a contract between the agency and your employer so just forget about it.
