Employer withholding annual leave after financial help given earlier. What to do?

Dear Sir/Madam,

My employer offered me financial help in 2014, and he insisted on helping me even though I didn't ask for it.

Now that I have resigned and was about to take my annual leave from 2017 to 2023, he told me that we are even because he already gave me the money.

I didn't expect him to hold that help against me, and I am expecting my annual leave because I know it is required by law.

If I were to bring this to court, is there a possibility that I can win the case?

I hope to hear answers here.

Thank you!
