Is an employer required by law to issue a contract of employment after 18 months?
Find answers to your legal question.

And if they didn't issue one and try to issue proceedings against you one you have left there employ on the grounds that you have not adhered to one of the rules in the contract is this viable?

To have a contract you need two parties agreeing on something. If you did not sign any document and it is 18 months later you certainly have cause to claim no contract exists.

If you did sign something, but never got a copy of the contract (hopefully there is language in the contract requiring their getting you a copy). Also, can you document (e-mails, memos, letters) of your asking for a copy of the contract. Either (both) can put you in a stronger position.

Good luck
