Question juridique clé
Whether the plaintiff earned a brokerage fee although the concluded transaction differed from the transaction contemplated in the brokerage contract.
Solution extraite
Yes. The share sale achieved the same economic result as the contemplated transfer of the lease and sale of the inventory.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 413(1) OR, the decisive point is economic equivalence; identity of the mediated contract is unnecessary. By transferring the GmbH shares, the defendant effectively disposed of the inventory and transferred the lease position to the buyers.
