Everyday Law Cases
Is Settlement OF Disputed Claim
Binding when Dispute Is Not
in Good Faith?
nv ROBERT CULLEN.
By THE COUNSELLOR.

When Jim Mitchell's work in a log
ging camp was completed he. asked
payment of $3.50 for his services due
him by agreement. Instead Of getting
the money, Mitchell was told by the
manager of the camp that he would
not pay all the money because 1t was
not 1.-The law of the company to settle
that way"
Mitchell's remonstrances at the un-
fairness OF the managers stand we're
unavailing and he accepted the man
ayers offer to pay him $3.50 instead OF
the actual amount due him. Signing a
receipt in full, Mitchell obtained his
money.
Despite the receipt he had signed
Mitchell filed suit to recover the Sl00
deducted at the time Of the compro-
mise. The company defended itself on
the ground that its dispute with Mitch
played the receipt.
Mitchell won his suit, the court
stating:
although the payment and accept
ance of less sum than claimed Is bind
ing when the claim Is in dispute, 1t Is
necessary that the dispute should be
founded in good faith. A person cam
not create a dispute sufficient as a
consideration for compromise by a
mere refusal to pay an undisputed
claim. without an honest dispute
therefore, an agreement TO take lesser
sum In payment IS without Consiiera-
ton and void"
