520			_a[2007] EWHC 1610 (QB); [2007] 34 EG 84, 5 July 2007. The appellant (D) entered into an agreement in 2003 with the respondent and cross-appellant estate agent (F) to arrange the sale of a property. The contract entitled F to a commission in the event that unconditional contracts were exchanged within a given period. During that period F had sole selling rights over the property. D became disenchanted with F's services and it was agreed to place the matter on hold, although a selling board remained outside the property. In 2004, F advised D that it had received interest in the property. Mr Akhtar (A) was one of these. Wishing to have no more business with F, D instructed a new agent. A eventually purchased the property through the new agent. F claimed commission, having made the initial introduction. "Held": D's agreement with F had been that commission would be paid for the introduction of a purchaser. Although the negotiations had been conducted entirely by the new agent, F had made the original introduction despite this being unconnected with the eventual sale. F was entitled to a commission under the relevant clause.
