The contractual power of the General Manager to decide notified claims did not make his view conclusive or bar arbitral scrutiny, particularly where the record raised a real dispute over whether the withdrawal of claims and the no claim certificate were voluntary or obtained under pressure. Accord and satisfaction was also treated as a matter for evidence.
