Hassani abdallah v. African Bazaar, Misc. Civ. App. 6-D-68, -/7/68, Hamlyn J.

Plaintiff claimed for wage arrears. When his claim originally arose, plaintiff complained to the Branch Secretary of NUTA, and after a conference with the employer, plaintiff withdrew the complaint upon receiving a cash settlement and an increase in wages. Two years later, plaintiff lodged a complaint based on the same facts with the Ministry of Labour. This complaint was rejected, and plaintiff thereupon filed this action.

            Held: Plaintiff abandoned his claim at the time of settlement; since consideration for this was paid by defendant to plaintiff, there was an accord and satisfaction with respect to the claim.
