Question juridique clé
Whether a brokerage commission was earned under Art. 413 OR for the later sale to H.K. and I.K.
Solution extraite
Yes. The broker's earlier efforts and the later sale were sufficiently linked by a psychological causal connection.
Motifs extraits
A commission is due once the contract results from the broker's mediation; direct causation is unnecessary. In special circumstances, mediation may extend to a third party closely connected to the initially approached person. Here, the later buyers were tied to the earlier viewing and contacted the broker spontaneously after the first sale fell through, so the required connection existed.
