'''Facts''' The plaintiff lost his foot in a work-related accident, and was placed on a leave of absence until he returned to work. He was then fired sometime after. He claimed to forego litigating a claim in order for an oral agreement to have a lifetime of employment. '''Issues''' Whether a forbearance to litigate a claim when such claim was ill-founded prevents the forbearance from being sufficient consideration. '''Holding''' Judgment for the plaintiff. '''Rules''' Forbearance is sufficient if there is a reasonable ground for the claimant’s belief that it is just to try to enforce his claim. He must be ascertaining his claim in good faith.
