Debenham Tewson & Chinnocks v Rimington and another
- 1990
- Estates Gazette (1990) 34 EG 55-58(4) .
CA 17 May 1990. D was contesting the quantum meruit figure decided by the High Court as commission from R for assisting in a sale of land . The peculiarity of this sale, which meant that D did not gain the usual 1.5% commission, was that R had both a family and business connection with the purchaser of the land so that it was not an "arm`s length" sale and while D were involved in tentative talks with the purchaser`s agents, D did not agree the sale price; this was done by the principals themselves. Appeal dismissed.
