The right to a commission is not excluded if a deal is concluded by third parties
- 04/04/2018
According to article 1755 of the Italian Civil Code, an agent has the right to receive a commission from each party when a deal is concluded as an effect of his intervention.
The Court of Cassation, with Judgment no. 6552 of 16th March 2018, has explained that the right to a commission is not excluded when a deal is concluded by parties different from those to whom that very deal was originally proposed by the agent, provided that there exists a connection between the parties who have participated in the negotiations and those who finally sign the contract.
In such a case, the commission is due to the agent by the original parties, them being the people who had a relationship with the agent himself.
