No fixed two-year term was concluded; the court found accommodation provision was a contractual term (supported by a clear company letter), salary deductions for housing deposit, rent and solicitors were improper, plaintiff consented to deduction for the air tickets, the contract was for an indefinite period requiring three months' reasonable notice, wrongful dismissal entitled the plaintiff to damages assessed on a three-month mitigation period, and the company's claim for occupation was allowed subject to set-off against the plaintiff's damages resulting in the respective monetary judgments.
