I would like to find out- in a UK limited company contract (UK IT contractor), there're unfair clauses on termination. Employer/cleint from their side need to give just 1 week, whereas Contractor need to server 1 month from service company side.
Unfortunately, contractor decides to leave after working for less than a month & serves only 1 week's notice, but client has comeback and now demanding full one month to be served.
Unfortunately, as a UK contractor don't want to continue and drag on due to unfamiliar technology.
[Agency has already threatened, if complete notice not served then - they won't give good reference and won't pay for work done to-date]

So you signed a contract saying you would give a month's notice, and now you want to leave without giving a month's notice. Are you specifically asking if the difference between your notice period and their notice period is illegal? Or are you just hoping someone will tell you how to get out of your contract?

The time to address unfair clauses is before signing the contract. It's extremely difficult to get them changed afterwards because bluffing no longer works, and you usually have to give up something you want to entice the other party to accept the offer.
The other party in this case wants the contractor to serve the full notice period of one month, as originally agreed. Additionally you've already given one week notice, in violation of your contract, so you've exhausted any good will they had for you.
You say you're unfamiliar with the technology so I'm guessing you haven't produced a lot of deliverables. You can ask them what they need from you in terms of handover - documentation, finalization etc. to shorten the notice period but you've likely pissed them off so they might keep you on just because they can.
At this point, there is no way to serve a shorter notice without violating your contract. I recommend consulting a lawyer to find out the ramifications of doing so.

Especially given that as a contractor taking a job you are not qualified to do can be seen as attempted fraud - this may have criminal ramifications. Unfamiliar technology is one side, but I can not imagine they hired a contractor using a technology he does not have on his resume. That would bea fully epy failure (not that those do not exist at times - corporations can accumulate a ridiculous amount of stupidity).

I infer from this that you are looking for justification to get out of your contract ahead of time. You are missing out a lot of detail, such as the size of the company, the specifics of the contract etc so there is no way of knowing what will happen if you just leave. Maybe nothing will happen, maybe they will come after you through legal channels.
One thing to consider as a contractor is your reputation. You have no way of knowing who knows who in the industry; your boss now might end up being friends with the guy who puts out the tender for your next contract. You're in a rough spot right now so you're unlikely to get a glowing referral either way, but "he broke the terms of the contract" sounds much worse than "he couldn't do the job and we didn't renew the contract". The latter at least leaves the possibility for giving you the benefit of the doubt: maybe there was a misunderstanding in the technology used or something. Breaking the terms of a contract is universally bad, however.
I would strongly advise toughing it out and lasting until the end of the month. At this point it comes down to mitigating further damage and breaking the terms of your contract will only make things worse.

I couldn't answer for sure, you would have to read the insurance policy to know exactly what it does and does not cover. However IMO signing another contract that begins before the completion of your current contract only compounds the issue. Better to focus on the clean slate than salvage what you can from a wreckage IMO but that would be my attempt to make the best of a bad situation...

I couldn't answer for sure, you would have to read the insurance policy to know exactly what it does and does not cover. However IMO signing another contract that begins before the completion of your current contract only compounds the issue. Better to focus on the clean slate than salvage what you can from a wreckage IMO but that would be my attempt to make the best of a bad situation...

So you signed a contract saying you would give a month's notice, and now you want to leave without giving a month's notice. Are you specifically asking if the difference between your notice period and their notice period is illegal? Or are you just hoping someone will tell you how to get out of your contract?

Never sign a contract hoping that its clauses won't be enforced.
