The counterclaim is dismissed because the oral agreement, read in its factual commercial context, entitled the defendant to a share of a bonus only upon his successful performance/contribution to overcoming the complications that made a sale possible; the defendant did not fulfil that condition, the payments in dispute were service fees outside the ambit of the oral bonus-sharing, and the defendant was not a reliable witness.
