Bogoloh Vrs Intertek Ghana Limited [2022] GHASC 90 (29 November 2022)

The plaintiff's employment was lawfully terminated under the terms of the contract and applicable law; acceptance of severance benefits constituted a compromise, extinguishing further claims; the claim for retirement benefits and refund for the vehicle was unjustified as termination was not by retirement.
