Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff claimed payment of US$62,707.12 from the defendant for outstanding salaries, allowances, and truck hire charges from 2002-2008, based on alleged reconciliations prepared by the defendant's financial advisor. The defendant denied liability, asserting the plaintiff was employed by Tarcon Limitada of Mozambique, not the defendant, and raised jurisdictional and legal defenses.
