Haines House Haulage Co Ltd v Gamble
''Haines House Haulage Co Ltd v Gamble'' () 3 NZLR 221 is an often cited case in New Zealand, where a creditor banked a cheque tendered as "full and final settlement" of an account and was later unsuccessful at claiming the balance from the debtor. Its legal significance is that where a creditor banks a debtors cheque for a lesser amount and wants to still claim the balance from the debtor, they must notify the debtor within 10 days that the banked cheque was not accepted as full settlement.
== Background ==
Haines House Haulage sold and moved a house to Matamata on behalf of Gamble. However, when it came time to pay the resulting invoice charged of $2,811.09, Gamble disputed the amount owed. Lengthy correspondence was subsequently exchanged between the two parties culminating in Gamble sending a letter to Haines with a cheque attached for only $672.18, with the letter clearly stating the cheque was being tendered on a full and final basis only, as well as their calculations for this amount tendered.
Haines director received the letter and banked the cheque, but did not accept it as full settlement of the account, and subsequently demanded that Gamble pay the remaining balance of $2,138.91. Haines waited 10 days before they informed Gamble that the cheque was not accepted as full settlement, and the remaining balance was still owed as far as they were concerned.
Gamble of course argued that the banking of the cheque was accord and satisfaction for the account and denied any liability for the remaining balance. Haines ultimately sued Gamble for the balance.
