An estate agent cannot claim commission from both vendor and purchaser where the agent has acted for the vendor and has not shown full, explicit and informed disclosure to and consent from both principals; the plaintiffs failed to prove such disclosure and consent and therefore could not enforce the alleged contract for a second commission; appeal allowed and claim dismissed.
