A constituted B as his agent to sell his property. B found C as the buyer who was willing to buy under the terms agreed upon but suddenly A changed his mind and decided not to sell the property. One week later, A and C, entered into a contract of sale over the property. Is B entitled to commission?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

B is entitled to commission because A acted in bad faith by initially refusing to sell the property to C, whom B had found as a willing buyer, and then later directly entering into a contract of sale with C. This action by A undermines the effort and role of B as the agent who facilitated the discovery of the willing buyer, thus constituting bad faith.
