Court accepted defendant's credibility, found agents knowingly or recklessly misrepresented purchaser's residence in breach of an express instruction not to sell to neighbours below $13,000,000; breach was sufficiently serious to repudiate the agency contract and extinguish defendant's obligation to pay commission; plaintiff's claim dismissed and defendant awarded nominal damages of $1 and costs.
