• The court would determine that consideration is absent and that Bob can sue for any additional amounts owed.

• The court would determine that there was only partial consideration and that Bob can sue for any additional amounts owed.

• The court would rule that cashing the check discharged any obligation of Sheila and that Bob would not be able to recover further amounts.

• The court would rule that while cashing the check worked as an admission on the part of Bob, he was not estopped from pursuing further action against Sheila on the debt.
