Key legal question
Whether the broker was entitled to a commission under Art. 413 CO for the sale of the property
Extracted holding
Yes. The broker was the first to indicate the interested buyer, and the later sale remained causally linked to that indication.
Extracted reasoning
For indication brokerage, it is sufficient that the broker first named the purchaser and that the contract was concluded on the basis of that indication; a direct psychological influence is not required as in negotiation brokerage.
