Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant sought to resuscitate an application for quantification of damages for unlawful dismissal that had been withdrawn in 2009 for out-of-court settlement negotiations. The respondent opposed on grounds of prescription and settlement. The court found that the applicant had signed documents accepting a sum of US$3,045.00 in full and final settlement and waiving all future claims, and thus dismissed the application.
