By majority the Court of Appeal affirmed the trial judge: the agency agreement was not terminated by the Harapan memorandum because that sale was not consummated, the defendant had released the plaintiff from negotiating so the plaintiff's lack of negotiation did not defeat his claim, and on the facts the plaintiff's disclosure was the effective cause of the eventual sale — therefore the plaintiff was entitled to the commission awarded ($18,000,000).
