Nicol v. Bressler

BARNS, J.:

Plaintiff-respondent was a broker and was interested in finding a buyer for defendant-owner’s property. He found a buyer who bought. The deal between the buyer and seller may not have been closed under the directions of the broker-plaintiff but this he had no right to demand.
