Question juridique clé
Whether the claimant was entitled to commission for the chassis delivered to D. GmbH and later incorporated into equipment sold in Iran
Solution extraite
No commission was due because the defendant did not know the chassis would end up in the claimant’s exclusive territory, and the chassis itself was outside the contract’s scope of pelleteuses and cranes.
Motifs extraits
A commission for indirect business requires a causal link within the agency relationship; a mere later resale into the exclusive territory is insufficient, especially where the mandant did not know the product’s final destination. The delivery of a chassis was not a transaction in pelleteuses or cranes.
