No fixed two year term was proved; accommodation was a term of the employment as evidenced by the June 10, 1974 letter and course of conduct so the housing deductions and deposit/solicitors' charges were improper; the contract was for an indefinite period requiring three months reasonable notice; the plaintiff was wrongfully dismissed and entitled to damages calculated on likely return to Australia period with specified offsets; certain unilateral deductions were invalid while the air ticket deduction was held to have been consented to by the plaintiff.
