    The service agreement dated 24/11/2021, containing an unambiguous entire agreement clause, superseded prior fixed-term agreements; prior entitlements extinguished when earlier contracts lapsed; clause 9.4 vested sole discretion in employer to determine payment or leave in lieu and defendant exercised that discretion by paying April salary and permitting leave; plaintiff failed to comply with contractual procedures for relocation reimbursement and failed to discharge the evidential and legal burden; therefore plaintiff's claims fail.
