Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the seller’s failure to pass on the agreed commission to the buyer makes him liable in damages under Art. 97 OR, despite the special payment structure.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The agreement remained a brokerage contract; the seller was contractually bound to ensure that the buyer assumed the commission obligation, and his failure triggered liability under Art. 97 OR.
Motivazione estratta
The parties expressly subjected their relationship to Art. 412 ff. OR. The special arrangement that payment should be made by the buyer rather than the principal did not remove the contract from brokerage law.
