Not necessarily. Sometimes a contract will have a provision for damages,
sometimes they wont. Even if they do they may be deemed unlawful if
"punitive" (damage clauses are only lawful if the damages are a fair and
honest estimation of the actual costs involved to the parties).
There are plenty of lawyers who make a living interpreting contract law,
precedents, etc etc. This is also further complicated (in that sense)
because it is employment law, which is a bigger minefield.
Given the above there are other non-legal "remedies" open to LUFC, such as
retaining his player registration and making him train with the kids for the
remainder of his contract. That will of course cost LUFC pennies, so that
wont happen.
4. Breaking a legally binding contract is regulated by.. that very
contract.. so everything needed to
punish him is already in place.
