The oral agreement was rejected as inherently improbable and contradicted by witness evidence and written contract terms; defendant breached the written employment contract by refusing to report to duty and operating his own company without prior written consent, but plaintiff failed to prove misuse or non‑return of confidential information or quantifiable loss from those breaches; therefore dismissal was lawful under s9(1) EO, plaintiff entitled only to nominal damages and defendant entitled to unpaid wages and annual leave shown to be owing.
