The applicant filed an application alleging that the respondent breached a settlement agreement by failing to pay an agreed-upon lump sum.
The respondent admitted non-payment but argued it was relieved of its obligation because the applicant had breached the settlement's confidentiality provision by discussing the terms with a former co-worker.
The Tribunal assessed the credibility of the respondent's key witness and found his evidence unreliable due to inconsistencies and implausibilities.
Concluding that the respondent failed to prove a breach of confidentiality by the applicant, the Tribunal found the respondent in breach of the settlement and ordered it to pay the agreed lump sum with pre-judgment interest.
