(1) No person, engaged in the business of or acting in the capacity of any licensee under this chapter shall bring or maintain any action in the courts of the Commonwealth for the collection of compensation for any services performed as a licensee without first proving that he or she was duly licensed at the time the alleged cause of action arose. (2) No apprentice auctioneer shall have the right to institute a suit in his or her own name for the recovery of a commission, fee, or compensation for services as an apprentice auctioneer, but any such act shall be instituted and brought by the licensed auctioneer employing an apprentice auctioneer; provided, however, that this subsection shall not be construed so as to prevent a licensed apprentice auctioneer from suing his or her employing auctioneer for any compensation, fees, or commissions due from the auctioneer.
