Questão jurídica principal
Whether the agreement was a brokerage contract and the fee was payable only upon actual conclusion of the purchase contract
Decisão extraída
The agreement was a brokerage contract under Art. 412 ff. OR, and the fee was owed only if the intended purchase contract was actually concluded as a result of the broker's work.
Fundamentação extraída
The wording promised free efforts and a success fee of 1.5% of the sale price only 'in the event of success'; the contract therefore reflected the characteristic success contingency of brokerage.
