Ronald Bampton & Partners v D Garner & Sons Ltd An agent for the sale of 3 shops in course of erection by builders secured an agreement for the purchase of the same upon certain terms agreed to by the builders who were in fact the vendors. When the agreement was mentioned to the solicitor for the persons financing the builders, he refused to allow the sale to go on, upon the ground that it was completely one-sided and too advantageous to the buyer. The builders then refused to go on with the sale and the agent sued for his commission.
