- DCCJ3039/2006
The agent (Kenneth) misrepresented that the purchaser was not the owner of Unit 11C and, having been specifically instructed to ascertain that fact, acted recklessly or fraudulently by failing to make necessary enquiries; this constituted a breach of an important term of the agency contract entitling the vendor to resist payment of the claimed commission and justified dismissal of the plaintiff's claim.
