BARTON V MORRIS:

Supreme Court refuses to award commission for £6m residential property sale -

Mr Barton had made two failed attempts to purchase a property in Northolt, costing him almost £1.2m in forfeited deposits. Determined to recoup his losses, he verbally agreed with the seller that he would receive £1.2m if he introduced a purchaser of the Northolt property who paid at least £6.5m for the property.
