- DCCJ4201/2005
Plaintiff failed to prove by strong and cogent evidence that it obtained the explicit and informed consent of both the purchaser (Ms. Kwong) and the vendors (defendants) to act as a double agent; absence of such consent defeats the claim for double commission or liquidated damages based on double agency; accordingly plaintiff's claim and defendants' counterclaim are dismissed and each party bears its own costs.
