The defendant materially breached the employment contract by failing to pay the agreed enhanced remuneration and related benefits; the plaintiff validly accepted repudiation and mitigated his loss by obtaining alternative employment and receiving unemployment benefits; damages are the contractual expectation less mitigation and adjustments for pension arithmetic and limited holiday reimbursement, resulting in judgment for the plaintiff and dismissal of the counterclaim.
