Penalty clauses
Recently I was asked to sign what I would consider a penalty clause at a school where I am adding to my woes by taking helicopter instruction.
This was that I would pay a certain percentage of the lesson cost if for some reason I did not turn up without giving some notice. I forget the percentage but just wondered if this is practised elsewhere.
I don't know how legal it is and how could it be enforced anyway unless you have paid up front and nobody does that nowadays I hope.
Bit pointless as I would like to think that I would have the courtesy to let them know anyway if I had to cancel.
