Examines the case of Dashwood V Fleurets. D had instructed F to sell her pub. She later cancelled the instruction and appointed another agent. A potential buyer approached F when they were the agent, but no deal was made. He later purchased it through the new agent. F's contract with D stipulated that commission was payable on an introduction. "Held": Due to the introduction clause in the contract, F was due commission. This shows that estate agents can recover commission even when they are not the effective cause of the sale of the property.
