This case involved a claim by an employee for his dues. This was rejected as he had signed a settlement and did not provide new evidence.
Background
An employee filed a case against a company before First Instance Authority for Settlement of Labour Disputes (FIASLD) requesting the company to pay his dues.

The employee appealed the ruling before the SLHASLD.
Decision
The SLHASLD stated the case file revealed that the employee had signed a settlement on his dues after he finished his service and that he did not provide the SLHASLD with new evidence to prove his claim.
The SLHASLD upheld the appealed ruling.
