No. 1 Estates CC v Baard (1206 of 2002) [2002] NAHC 5 (3 September 2002)
The plaintiff failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that its introduction of the purchaser to the property was the effective cause of the sale. The sale resulted from a new and unrelated chain of events initiated by the defendant, and the plaintiff's involvement was not a consistent, uninterrupted, and major positive force leading to the sale.
